Seriously now, do you take a woman (or a man for that matter) in a mini skirt seriously? How about if she’s leaning over a desk? Are you listening to her speaking or is your mind wandering off? If you’re a man your probably not looking her in the eye and if your another female your mocking her in your mind. Women should not rely on sexual manipulation of their colleagues to get where they want because it isn’t effective and its degrading. Find some that works and you can be proud of, using sexualized behavior doesn’t flaunt how kick ass (excuse me) you are at your job. Ms Brockovich would have looked awesome in a well tailored pant suit.

I have never seen a man use his sexuality as a weapon, he doesn’t need to in the work place. Men have a confidence at work that many women do not have simply because they are the minority. Reverting back to sexual behavior to get what they want out of their career isn’t going to help in the big times they’ll hit a glass ceiling because when it comes down to it men will not remember that she closed that deal with a huge company they’ll remember her ‘pretty women’ boots and women who have made it far in the business without sexualizing themselves wont promote someone they find unprofessional. Being a firm believer in not mixing business with pleasure the idea of using ones body to advance makes me feel ill. Women doing this are only setting back others, women are smart, tactical, articulate, and clever and in whole great assets to companies we need to be seen for that and not what we are wearing. Like female politicians it isn’t necessary to focus on what we are wearing or how we look but what we say and do. So Ms Brockovich you look some much classier and your new wardrobe reflects you better. Lara Croft put on a bra, Britney and Lindsey put on some pants and be proud of your talent (?) you don’t need to be super sexualized all the time give us normal women a break!
