    Factchecking article about SuperBetter, had to request they NOT describe me as "typically wearing low-slung blouses", euphemism for slutty?

        @avantgame I believe the tune of that dog whistle is "unfairly leverages her feminine wiles to get ahead".

        @chaosprime @avantgame Maybe with undertones of “she’s young and pretty so don’t take her too seriously?”

        @jmittman Yeah, I'd say so. Overall tone roughly "it's okay, guys, she's unstable and trades on her boobs, you can ignore her." @avantgame

        @avantgame Google Image Search heartily disagrees with that characterization, by the way.

        @avantgame As a former ed, you'd be doing the publication a favour by letting them know of this writer's practices. I doubt they'd approve.

        @avantgame that’s a really odd adjective for a blouse. A belt or pants yes, but a blouse?

        .@avantgame That shit reminds me of how trans women are constantly depicted wearing makeup and described by clothing. #enforcedFrame

        @avantgame And who gives a sh*t what you're wearing anyway? I never see male execs described as wearing tight fitting suits.

        @avantgame Pathetic that "journalists" feel it is appropriate to say things like that.
