Loved the piece on the sexist distinction between style and fashion, I would also add there is a classist distinction there too.

Love the HBR article about bad advice, too! Reminds me of a meme I saw recently: “Men tend to choose high paying jobs like doctor, lawyer, and engineer. Women tend to choose lower-paying jobs like woman doctor, woman lawyer, and woman engineer.”
Love it
So true.
