I really, deeply appreciate this article. I feel like I end up hitting up against a ridiculous standard every day: if I dress up someone thinks I’m stupid, if I don’t then someone else thinks I’m not trying hard enough and not taking myself seriously. It’s emotionally exhausting. And worse if you’re a woc, or a disabled or fat woman like me: we’re supposed to do more, but criticized or hated for the effort.

Women can use all the help we can get. Even from politicians.
