How comfortable do you feel in a three-piece suit? “Professionalism” is a social construct, and like all social constructs, it's a total downer. Standards of looking professional uphold a lot of ugly “isms,” as policies with a racist, sexist, classist, and xenophobic core. Here's the truth about why the work we do should speak more loudly than how we look.
This article speaks to me volumes. In a world where women struggle to be taken seriously in the workplace, it’s about time someone spoke out about the dangers of enforcing “professionalism” and what it actually means. Everyone, regardless of what they are wearing, should be taken seriously and with respect. Great article!
