I disagree with Ms. JD in her assertion that Janet Reno, or Hilary Clinton “choose” not to look attractive at work… ummm… none of those women look good outside of work either. They are unattractive women who perpetuate the stereotype that if you are a professional woman you can’t possibly be even remotely attractive. Their unattractiveness has little to do with how they dress–they just aren’t good-looking—period.
AND when was the last time Hillary Clinton was a lawyer? I thought she stopped with Whitewater–which occurred when many of us were still in elementary or junior high school.

I wasn’t too happy with the NYT’s “Accidental Breadwinner” article’s use of the term “overeducated women.” I didn’t realize that going to college and grad school made me overeducated.
