“Your top is the same color as mine” is not a professional concern.
Of course, in many of our jobs wearing the same color as a colleague is a non-issue—and it SHOULD be a non-issue. But for women in media, the scrutiny is nearly unbelievable. Amber Sherlock (in the middle) is being painted as some kind of shallow diva, but as I see it, she is responding to the environment that surrounds her.
Remember, Australia is also where this nonsense went down: “Australian TV Anchor Wears Same Suit Every Day For A Year To Prove Sexism Is Going Strong”
To ignore the sexism inherent in the issue of women’s attire is simply naive.
