I cannot like this enough. And as someone who “doesn’t look the part” and is more than fucking competent and really good at my job. I support this 110%. I work in a male-dominated industry and I get more backstabbing from female co-workers than I ever do from men. We shouldn’t be mean girls. And we shouldn’t let how we look be more important than our competency in our jobs. Praise young girls for the work they do, not how they look. Same for women at work. Make that the regular compliment instead of basing a compliment on looks and I firmly believe we can help turn this tide.
When I see that particular pair of heels, I know it's gonna be extra extra good.
I may be a male, but I definitely do not look the part of most of the jobs I've had outside of the interview at most. Yet that's never stopped me before. However my wife, currently at the director level of her company, and armed with a BS and THREE Masters' was definitely thought not to look the part, and strangely enough when she switched departments, she shot up the org chart to an appropriate level.
Trying to hold onto YOUR spot is one thing. But actively kicking people away from something not yours is absolutely ridiculous and needs to stop.

There’s a special place in hell for women who act this way. It’s right outside the gate.
