As many of us know based on experience or prior knowledge, there are always ‘standards’ that each gender in society must uphold. One of the most concerning standards that women had to go through was their appearance and how they looked to men in society. However, this isn’t also limited to just men, but also job interviews and much more. Beauty standards set on women comes in direct correlation to the ‘glass ceiling’. Below are just a few ways these standards have affected women progression throughout the years.
-If women don’t meet beauty standards, they are often looked down upon in society on a social level
-They are frowned down upon at work for not being submissive. Always the glass celling being applied making it harder for women to climb up the social ladder.
-Women are paid less on average compared to men.
This is just scratching the surface on how these standards really Bring down women. However, this doesn’t include their personal lives which is much more unpleasant.
