That's another great point to this. There are certain professionals where aesthetic codes of dress require women to spend more out of pocket than men FOR THE SAME JOB to look "presentable". The job does not reimburse for these expenses, which means your take home pay is less.

That's been getting a lot better in the last 20 years or so, but it has not.completelt disappeared by any stretch of the imagination.

You're not always aware of this dynamic when you take a job and not everyone can just up and quit a job when they don't like the terms, or have much of a choice in employment anyway.

So saying, "get a different job" is dismissive and demeaning.
