Ditto anything where it says something like, “the ideal applicant will be [friendly/personable/bubbly/outgoing]”, because those standards are never meant to apply to men but will absolutely be used to police women who aren’t smiley or femme enough

For a role where great people skills are absolutely needed, would you feel like this words (OBVIOUSLY not friendly/personable/bubbly/outgoing) would be off-putting still?

Ah yes, the firm look up and down your entire body as if entering a cattle-yard sale as auction stock... while a completely new-to-the-field man with no experience got hired because his “shoes were nice”.
