Surprisingly, several studies have found that it’s actually a disadvantage for a woman to be physically attractive when applying for a managerial job. Beautiful applicants received lower ratings, apparently because they were subconsciously pegged as stereotypically female and therefore unsuited for a job as a boss. - Nicholas D. Kristof, "When Women Rule," New York Times

Well [not that I ever imagined myself as being a boss], at least I know I am more likely to get a managerial position than those uber sexy chicks out there.

Maybe we can pretend it was due to our MHC degree? ... ... ... Yeah, right.

Well, you know, they say that a disproportionate number of the women in positions of power in this country graduated from women's colleges. Is it their education or self-selection? XD
