TODAY: I read something on the internet that I thought I would share with you. It's a psychology theory that asks the question: Are women that wear lipstick less skilled in Maths than those that don't?To my horror the answer was yes!This artical from www.psychologytoday.com states that research has proven that women working in male-dominated fields feel intimidated and often play down any stereotypically female traits in order to be take more seriously and gain professional respect from male colleagues.
The research shows that these women are not all together abandoning their gender but they are avoiding typically feminine traits such as wearing lipstick, gossiping and flirting in exchange for a more 'serious', masculine portrayal.
Isn't this just awful?
Wearing a little bit of lippie to work will give you confidence in yourself and confidence earns you respect in your own right. I'm a true believer in flaunting your femininity and embracing who you are, if you are a girlie girl then be girlie! You can be clever and have a pretty face... some girls just do have it all.
If men have less respect for women in the work place for acting like women then I would advise their wives at home to start possessing more masculine qualities, I'm sure men wouldn't be so happy with that!
Women have all these incredible assets at their disposal, make-up be a massive one, they should not compromise being a girl and wearing some make-up for themselves in order to be taken more seriously by men.
Do take a look at the article and for goodness sakes stand up for femininity in your workplace!
