"women can head to work and wear a bloody sarong and flip flops without any flack. A man has the option of a short sleeved short with his suit."
This was a discussion with a friend moaning about office wear in summer and how women get away with wearing anything.
I disagree. Women have to work more at there office image.
We are expected to wear make up, look flawless, have our hair dyed and in a fashionable style, Fake tan and Sun bed. Paint our nails to match our outfit. Be thin. Have bigger breast. Have smaller breast. Shave, wax and pluck unsightly hairs. Smile. Smell good. Have smooth skin.
Men can look worse for wear from a night of drinking, take ten minutes getting there hair cut for under a tenner, spend 1 minute styling hair with gel. Not got any razor blades? A man decides he's growing a beard until he bothers to buy blades or it gets itchy. They can get T-shirt sun tans and hide the unevenness without mockery for the bizarre tan lines womens clothes throw out.
And let's not get started on underwear.
So men we might be floating around the office in strappy maxi dresses and flip flops but we took hours prepping to wear that dress. We earn the right not to sweat in the summer months.
