Finding a job post-graduation in this economic climate is difficult enough, but an Oberlin student recently faced one of the most ridiculous, sexist impediments to her job search of all: She was rejected from a position because of her outfit.
Oh boohoo. Learn to dress professionally, you twits. If you can’t even dress appropriately for a job interview, you shouldn’t get the job. Lol.
The same exact treatment would happen to guys if they had their shirts unbuttoned low, exposed a lot of skin and dressed unprofessionally. How stupid and stubborn do you have to be to dress immodestly to a crucial job interview.
She was wearing a skater skirt and heavy makeup. That doesn’t sound professional at all.

How hard is it to be well dressed for an interview? Whether you’re going for an interview at McDonalds or a fucking law firm, dress well. It’s not a difficult concept.
But of course, the way route is to blame it on sexism.
All of that is said assuming that it’s a true story. What company was she interviewing with? If she’s so upset about the sexism, why didn’t she name them?
(She did, at the bottom of her first facebook post, I think. She says “fuck you OnShift)
Heavy make up, a shirt that even she described as “a little booby,” and not just a “skater skirt” but dark tights with it and boots. All of this carries a sexual connotation with it. At a Programming company, something like slacks or a pencil skirt (depending) would have been so much more appropriate, not just because of modesty but because of the kind of job it is.
“If I had been a mad, would it have mattered what I was wearing?” Yes, Elizabeth. Yes it wouldn’t have.
My bad, I must have glossed over it.
She even mentions that the outfit is sexual. She’s aware of it, and still blames sexism instead of herself.
