You know, there comes a time in a woman's life when having the air chilled really helps to offset those hot flashes.
.
Younger women might be a little prejudiced against co-workers of their own sex, based on AGE!
.
That would be age discrimination!

That's right, I said their own sex not their own "gender" because
gender is a grammatical case, while sex is a physical description.
Gender describes words: his/hers/its, he/she/it, masculine/feminine'neuter.
Sex describes people: male/female, man/woman, boy/girl.

I went to a live feed location where a woman reporter was getting ready to go on the air, and the makeup crew were giving her the last minute touch-up. The last thing the hairdresser did before the reporter walked over to the camera was, she stuck her fingers into the reporter's hair and shuffled it sideways to give it a more wind-blown look or, as you say, "unkempt." So it was deliberate. At the time, I thought to myself, "I wonder why they want her to look like she just crawled out of a sack?"
.
I know a makeup artist who worked in movies/media, and she assures me that the LOOK that they are bound to achieve by contract, is precisely the LOOK that the director or producer demands and specifies. They have to produce the appearance that is required each and every time, and the specifics can be different in some respects or the same in other respects, from day to day. So it's not an accident. These things are conceived, ordered, and delivered.
.
So they want her to look as if she's just tumbled out of a bed where she's committed adultery or some other promiscuous activity?  Why not?  This is what women are supposed to aspire to these days.

Women aren't even paid less anyway. The "70% of a man's pay" statistic does not account for women generally working different jobs to men. If you compare women and men working the same positions in the same jobs, they are actually paid the same. Despite usually being far worse at it: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-30/bilnd-recruitment-trial-to-improve-gender-equality-failing-study/8664888

This deserves a thread of its own.  Using the word "gender" to mean sex is part of the diabolical disorientation of our times.  It is language to support the lie that male and female are arbitrary social constructs (like grammatical gender) rather than objective physical reality.  

All Catholics ought to train ourselves not to use "gender" in this way.  We could come up with an entire list of words like this, introduced for social manipulation.  Other examples are "antisemitism" and "gαy."  We should avoid all such words.
