Just when you thought we had moved beyond the 1950s

I thought that was bad.

Then I read this and I was filled with even more righteous feminist ire:

Are you fucking kidding me?! 
Are you FUCKING kidding me?! 
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!! 

Dear Liz Jones, who the hell do you think you are?!

From her article (particularly abhorent parts in boldface):

Third, a sloppy dress code leads to a sloppy attitude. An unmade-up face tells me you find it hard to get up early enough to attend to your maquillage.
This is not sexist: I don't want to buy anything from a man who hasn't bothered to shave either. It's simply to do with attitude.
Women who feel no compunction to improve what nature bestowed upon them are, in my experience, arrogant, lazy or deluded, and frequently all three.
This is especially true in the service industry, where a bare face is no more acceptable than a dentist with halitosis. It tells me that a woman doesn't really care what others think of her.
Wearing even a little make-up shows respect to others, demonstrating on the outside that you are professional, a stickler for detail, someone who doesn't cut corners.But there is one aspect of Ms Stark's case that I do find puzzling: why does any intelligent women (whatever her workplace) need a manual to tell them what is or isn't acceptable. Surely common sense should do?

Also, if Ms. Jones really wanted to prove her point, she shouldn't have accompanied the article with two photos of a bare-faced Ms. Stark, who is quite a beautiful woman just as she is.  This does not back up Ms. Jones' case.

Liz Jones, you are a retarded Uncle Tom.
Of course, it is the Daily Mail, so what did I really expect?
