a lot of women who are required to wear heels at work will pack them and wear flats on their commute.

I was pondering today whether or not the tech industry has started a ‘new normal’. Casual dress indicates that you don’t have to conform. It’s like a reverse class thing. Of course as an engineer, you show up in a dress and heels, a lot of people will assume you are a sale rep, so there are still standards to conform…

as you say, being a professor, you really don’t know what other professions are like or how your career would be limited by not following the dress code

it’s lovely that you have the option of being skeptical. Yes, in fact in some fields and offices if you don’t wear a skirt and heels you are not only breaking dress code but limiting your own career.

most people do better with softer haircolor as they get older, but you be you. Julianne is supposed to be a caricature of the aging and trying to look ‘perfect’ trope

self-loathing occurs because women are told every damned day that they are ‘wrong’ and ‘not enough’ and it happens double for fat women. The show does a fantastic job of showing how Plum can’t just go about her business without facing crap for her appearance. That leads to self-loathing.
