Ah, let's hear it forcasual, everydaysexism -because it does make an exceedingly good blog.

The sort of sexism that tells women that wearing some make-upis better than wearing no slapat all,and that 'pantyhose' will "seriously impress" employers (even if your CV doesn't).And, that if you're a recruiter, it's acceptable to tell grown women how to dress if they want to get a job.

I'll stop now, because sarcasm really is the lowest form of wit, and the image above says it all really.

And, no, this wasn't plucked from the 1950s. It was given to a friend of mine who's just emigrated to Australia. By a recruiter. Who should know better.

She's going to her next job interview wearing a pair ofskin-tonepantyhoseon her head, and a ring on every finger.

Personally, I'm going to add "colour-coordination" to the burgeoninglist of skills on my CV, along with "clean hair".

P.S. Rhizome is currently hiring, and I can exclusively revealthat pantyhose is...not on our list of credentials. Sorry for any disappointment this might cause.
