Guidelines and reactions on how to dress are always eye opening. I remember reading some advice for academic job interviews. For men, it was essentially remember to wear clothing, don't dress like an investment banker, and you'll be fine.For women, it was paragraphs long. Too feminine and they'll mistake you for a departmental secretary. Too youthful and they'll dismiss you as a student. Too severe and you're "not collegial". Too approachable and you're not serious. The whole thing was just a minefield.

This article makes me wonder if I work in a weird microcosm of the tech world.Where I work, half the programmers dress in t-shirt,jeans (both men and women 50/50 actually) and then the other half of programmers(again 50/50) dress much more business professional. Even some of the graphic designers dress really formally lately, think pant suit.From what I talked around about and discovered, a lot of it has to do with some of their career ambitions. Some of the more formally dressed programmers want to be project managers, or they read a book on business etiquette and want job security or something. It's where I first learned of books like Corporate Confidential, and others on business politics.My personal anecdote: Honestly I've gotten the harshest criticism including gendered criticism from other women in the corp on the way I dress. The harshest criticism included gendered doesn't even come from the tech side, but business or research analysts. I don't know if the my team's tech guys care or not, but they sure haven't made comments one way or the other. Why is so much criticism of women being in tech at the tech guys and not at the other men AND women in other departments enforcing stereotypes in the company ?

I'm a man and the same thing happens to me all the time. People always tell me "What? You're too handsome and muscular, I don't believe you're a programmer, programmer look like geeks and are socially awkward!". It's really tough to fit in at work. Lately I've been growing my beard and drinking beers because of the social pressure, but I feel bad about it. I really wish people would stop putting everyone in a stereotype and just look at our work first, updating their mental stereotypes afterwards if need be.

The problem is that the rules of man-woman interaction are not well defined (especially since the traditional family was destroyed last century). Is there a way to look at girl in a cute pink dress and tell whether she is there to just present a tech topic or she is also open to potential dating? Women are a passive gender, so the way they dress is one of the few ways to send a signal.
