heaven forbid if you at all dress like a woman...expect to sit in an administrative role or just not be taken seriously at all. |
What's to dress like a woman or like a man? You mean wearing skirts or trousers? |
I think it would depend on the length of the skirt meltem. I mean one of Bod's 10" (25cms) denim numbers would be totally out of the question.

I hope 
But for me as long as the body under the clothes belongs to a woman, and the woman does not wear two or three size bigger jackets, shirts, trousers, it's a woman cloth.

unfortunately, it is still seen that unless you dress man-like, be a plain-jane, to "fit in" with the boys, for people to take you seriously, you won't get far in this industry.

if you had quoted my whole post, you would have seen that i mentioned "frumpy" and "man-like" in the first section.
dressing like a man is wearing loose clothes, suits...power suits, pants.
dressing more womanly is wearing skirts, blouses, cardigans.
my main point is that women should be able to dress however they like and still be seen to do their job and be professional.
however, from what i have seen and experienced specifically, that is not the case.
for women to get ahead and to be taken seriously, they must act and dress a certain way, and be one with the boys.

Libralady, I can't believe you're saying this without any explanation. It's obvious that you have to be "one of the boys" to have respect in the traditionally male dominated fields or in high managerial positions. Of course, it depends somehow on the people you end up working with, but undeniably, this is a largely universal and widespread phenomenon. I don't know what kind of world you live in.
