It’s Hard to Be a Woman

Apparently women are obliged to spend an arduous amount of time picking out their clothes for work in the morning while men get to pick out gray suit #3 and be on with it. According to Matilda Kahl in her trailblazing Harper’s Bazaar essay, this routinely left her late for her ad agency job while her male coworkers arrived early, engaging in “bro-talk with the boss”. The worst. Kahl’s solution was to buy a dozen copies of the same outfit and wear it like a uniform to work. After she added some bows and ribbons and such. Feminism is not an orthodoxy after all. Now, Kahl is just like the guys. Wearing the same boring thing every day and presumably earning swell promotions, equal pay, and sprouting a dick as needed so she can use the shorter men’s room line in the office. Somebody could point out that woman have been wearing suits to work for decades now. The most dowdy pantsuit wearer of all time is about to become President of the United State. But think about all the female empowerment that would be lost in the shuffle. Hot women are suffering in the workplace and nobody seems to care. Attica.
