If You Dress Like An Attention Whore At Work, Expect To Be Treated Like One

123 Comments

A favorite trope of feminists and women claiming workplace discrimination is that female staff are the victims of “sexism” due to judgments about their appearance. But how many times have we all seen girls working in our building or out on their lunch breaks in attire more befitting of a Tinder date, raunchy nightclub, strip joint, or even the gym? Meanwhile, men must keep their fashion within a very narrow range of acceptability, otherwise they risk failing to get that fancy new job or could lose their current one.

Furthermore, guys learn to deal with the fact that the world does judge you based on your appearance. Many women have zero idea about this concept, only accepting the judgments they agree with or those ones that further their interests and career. For those opinions they don’t like, they can always conveniently claim the person giving them is sexist or misogynist, or, just as amorphously, “objectifying” a woman. This is classic attention-seeking.

Attention-whore Jayde Phoenix.

The epitome of this growing female narcissism is a British woman by the name of Jayde Phoenix. Touting herself as a “IT security expert” (despite her academic and job credentials being a fraction of what it means to be highly qualified or plain non-existent), she suggested a “guess the number of USBs in a jar” competition to promote her company. With her breasts nearly spilling out of a see-through top, she looked at the camera with a lustful gaze, what many on the Roosh V Forum would call “a thousand cock stare.” Her clothes (and demeanor) better suited a street hooker than a “professional.”

As we should have expected in our troubled times, the many critics of Phoenix’s contrived appearance were labeled as “sexists,” “bullies,” and “misogynists.” She herself tried to excoriate her detractors, emphasizing how “good” she was at her job and the professional standards she supposedly meets every day. But there are a few questions both the original photo exercise and her subsequent justifications failed to answer, namely:

  • If she’s so good at her job, why did she need to use a see-through bra in the picture?
  • Why doesn’t she wear a top size that comfortably contains her breasts, rather than flaunting them?
  • Why is she and not someone else in the photo?

Though the attention-seeking of Jayde and her employer first flared up several months ago, the dilemma of girls like her is an ongoing one.

Try getting employed in an office as a man with this sort of attire

Baggy pants with your underwear showing

The male office worker could be wearing black pants and not jeans, like in the photo, and sporting a typical business shirt. That doesn’t matter. No white collar company worth a dime is going to hire a man whose boxers or briefs are showing down to his ass. Compare this to the parade of female office workers who go beyond showing their arms and the hint of a bra strap to exhibiting half the surface area of their breasts. In addition, if you haven’t already noticed, the very short crop top is now a staple garment within American office (un)culture. It is not unusual to see a large part of a woman’s bare stomach and back, including over-the-top tattoos.

Hawaiian shirts and board shorts

Some workplaces, most notably those trying to appear “hip,” have drastically relaxed the need for business attire. But these employers are definitely in the minority. A man with a penchant for Hawaiian shirts, board shirts or other beach clothing will find his career options drastically limited. As they should be! The way in which you relate to your friends or fellow tourists on a holiday is almost always far different from how you should deal with clients, investors, stakeholders and the like in your profession. Men save their best (or worst) Hawaiian shirt for office charity fundraising days, company summer parties and related functions, not an average day.

Leather, lycra or ridiculously tight clothing in general

Inasmuch as tight clothing on men doesn’t tickle your or my fancy, it’s how ironic how an obese woman can wear garments twice or thrice as close-fitting in the workplace than a fit male. And, male office workers of the world, don’t even consider wearing leather pants during your next boardroom presentation. The occasional gay man or metrosexual might escape sanction for some outlandish or garish outfit, but most industries, if they value their reputation with clients, will prohibit you from donning clothing that looks like it came from the wardrobe of Lance Armstrong or someone from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

Excuses for female attention-seeking are out of control

It seems that “Lady” Victoria Hervey and Jayde Phoenix read the same book.

There is little doubt that Jayde Phoenix’s employer expected a backlash against her. In this sense, it was a very good marketing and advertising ploy (for those prospective clients who do not care about actual professionalism, of which there are many). As for Phoenix and other women like her, this situation is win-win. At the very least, she and those of her ilk can continue their day-to-day objectification of themselves, generating desperately craved male attention in particular. Even for girls who do not receive the public’s spotlight, any roadblock or mishap in their career can later be blamed on “misogyny” after judgments about their appearance.

At best, as happened in Phoenix’s situation, she gets nation-wide and even global coverage. For narcissistic girls who take zero responsibility for how others may negatively perceive them, this is the coup of a lifetime. Yet as they age (and Jayde Phoenix looks far older than her early 20s), expect their antics to become more straw-clutching. And while these girls engage in sexual self-advancement and wage war over imaginary discriminations, the vast majority of male employees have no scapegoat they can use to rationalize their failures and virtually no means of combating institutionalized prejudice against their so-called “privilege.”

By the way, is Jayde Phoenix’s Arabic necklace indicative of some “work” she may have done in Dubai?

    1. I wonder if her boss’ name is Stone Hardrock?
      I never seem to find IT shops full of porn stars. Dang it.

      2. I have. It’s called a webcam whorehouse. It’s a stretch, but girls operating a webcam through a laptop is kinda IT related.

      3. my IT guy has bad dandruff, weighs about 90 pounds soaked, still has a members only jacket and wears clases that look like they come from the Criminal Minds prop department box labelled “glasses for every single serial killer”

        1. I was assuming in my musing that the shop would be full of 20 year old hot chicks and not your normal stereotypical IT nerd.
          I have literally (Hitler) nothing in common with my work peer group outside of knowing how to code. Nothing. Not even a little hobby. Nothing. Sad sorry lot of gimps, by and large.

        2. No, I do the hiring for IT Director. I decided that an intelligent person who was good at his job didn’t have too much of a personal life and was beholden to me was much better than a hottie. I never hire women for anything other than support staff and secretaries and those usually are in the 7 range. Too hot and they feel they can get away with murder.

        3. You wouldn’t find a qualified pretty girl for IT anyway I’d wager.
          I used to work in a really large shop, like huge, with massive departments. One of those departments consisted of rows and rows of really pretty girls, who were basically there to sound (and look, for video calls) pretty for our high octane clientele. It was great fun to visit that floor of the building to “fix a problem” and have them gasp “Oh my God, you’re not really the IT guy are you?!?” with big ol’ smiles on their faces, blushing and no small amount of accidental brushing up against me or touching my arm/back. You know, to help me understand the issue that they were having with the program. They were shocked, as your IT guy always fits the nerd stereotype.
          That’s as close as it has come in my life to work resembling a porno.

        4. that is great. Most the IT guys I meet are as you describe. I really like my guy though. He is a super conservative catholic. He may look like a serial killer but he is very courageous in his beliefs and committed to them. In some ways I feel he is a lot tougher than most people because he has what he believes in, totally flouts all social convention and sticks to his guns….

        6. They were rather shameless, and once word got around I was summoned by name in the support tickets. Because, you know, “This programmer/tech is a known problem solver that we’ve come to trust”
          Yeah baby, just wear that low cut top, giggle and be quiet. I’ll plug my master dongle into your slave port and we’ll get down to business.
          Heh.

        9. I once worked with a company that put a woman in charge of the IT project I was working on … about second-worst work experience of my life.

        10. I was consulting on a project with a double bitch tag-team. It WAS the worst work experience of my professional life. Rank amateurs with resting bitch faces who’s IT experience was based on what they read in a book rather than 2 decades of experience I brought to the table. Disgusting.
          Come to think of it, there were others who were thrust into positions of IT management who had no business being in the business. There were projects that were nearly derailed by some pissy bitch and her political agenda or pathetic power-play. Why bother going to University when companies, fortune 100 companies at that, put unqualified bimbos into highly technical IT and software positions.

        11. I have to ask. What was the worst? Really I have been there and can’t imagine anything worse (or maybe I just don’t want to).

      4. At my old workplace, before I started to work in the office, there was one room rented by a guy who apparently did nothing but edit porn movies all day.
        That must be mind- and spirit-numbing work.

  2. Stop staring at my cleavage, ladies. I’m more than just a piece of meat ya know. I’m like wicked smaart. Respect me for my mind, not my body.
    Ok, go ahead and stare. Wanna play a game? Guess the number of tools in my belt. No, that’s not a screwdriver. I’m just happy to see you. Is that sexist? Damn, I was taking a cue from some whore named Jayde Phoenix. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b868ffa1f5e05ffedb296f68e3cd444174f07143d226d5381968614d79c4a31b.jpg

    1. Am I the only one who just had to knock one off on sight of that picture? That arse transcends the limit of gender

        5. c’mon I think I speak for every man here when I say, an arse is an arse. What are we sexists?

        7. I just happen to think that that big fat builder’s arse is equal to to natalie portman’s arse, and that we shouldn’t discriminate

        9. equal worth as arses. I just don’t want any arseholes feeling unloved or unloveable

        13. you have. I worry about where your thoughts are taking you on this one. I was just making innocent observations about equality and aesthetics.

    2. Would this have something to do with the old Norge refrigerator? Look up the original SNL for that one.

  3. The difference between the lead in photo, and the second picture of her not all “done up” is pretty drastic. The lead in photo I’d bang with a happy smiley face, but you couldn’t pay me to touch the girl in the second photo. Man oh man, women sure are good at the whole conceal-and-camoflage thing aren’t they?

        1. “Yikes”. Well, your instinct is on point today.
          Jodi Arias. Mega-freaky-slut to innocent naïve Amish girl in less time than it takes to say “I didn’t do it” in a deposition for a murder trial. Go have fun with the before and after pictures.

        2. Even when she was made up she wasn’t that hot…but yeah—definitely a fucked up bird this one.

        4. Lawyers probably told her to tone it down so as to look more dowdy. I hear that “respectable” works better in court cases than slutty

    2. Reminds me of one of the great Dylan lyrics”
      Well, I took me a woman late last night
      I’s three-fourths drunk she looked all right
      ‘Til she started peelin’ off her onion gook
      She took off her wig, said, “how do I look”?
      Well I’s high flyin’
      bare naked
      out the window

    3. Biggest difference between the pics seems to be her facial positioning and hair.
      IMO the facial work in the first pic is too “Kim Kardashian” for me, but either way she’s got “Katy Perry syndrome”: her face isn’t one that’d launch a thousand ships but no one is going to be looking at it for 2 reasons.

  6. I work in an engineering company where both men and women have to wear site clothes that aren’t flattering on anyone, yet I’ve met a few women engineers complaining that they should be allowed to wear different clothes that make them look better.
    Yes, let’s take an industry where men are supposedly too masculine and have women entering the field turn up in tight pants and Tops. What could possibly go wrong?

  7. Jayde … never heard of her … definitely WNB.
    That said, if I was an employer, I think I would not care about business atire at all. I’d care whether the person can get the job done. As long as their clothes don’t prevent that, Idc.
    I witnessed something terrible once … I worked as a contractor for a company in Middle Germany. The CEO was rather short. And yet, for some ‘mysterious’ reason, practically all employees were even shorter than him.
    And they were all obligated to wear ugly grey sweaters with the company logo imprinted on them. ‘Chump’ or ‘simp’ doesn’t even come close to describing what they looked like in those.
    Oh and then I once worked as a photographer for a small business on an automobile convention. They all wore terrible ugly bright orange jackets with the logo of the company. They implored me to wear one too. I declined. I went with jeans jacket instead. Heh.

    1. Something I learned – if you can’t be competent, dress/look competent. You’d be surprised at how far that takes some folks.

        1. Yep. True competence, once demonstrated, brings with it latitude in other respects. Had a woman I worked with who was incredibly competent at her job and loved it. She dressed down to avoid being promoted out if it, which was threatened/offered occasionally….

  8. “…guys learn to deal with the fact that the world does judge you based on your appearance. Many women have zero idea about this concept,….”
    No, no, no. A thousand times no. Women are very well aware that how they dress communicates something about themselves. I would say, they are far more aware of this and at a much younger age than most men.
    Their clothing choices are specifically intended to communicate what they want to emphasize. If they want to appear/emphasize professionalism, they understand that is a different mode of dress than choosing to emphasize their sexuality. If they dress to emphasize their sexuality, that’s what they want noticed and is important to them to convey. (as here, a form of manipulation). If they dress conservatively, to de-emphasize their sexuality, it is to have you focus on what they’re saying and the job at hand.

  11. Let’s also not ignored the fact that “Jayde Phoenix” sounds like a name straight out of a porn or strip club. If I didn’t know she was an IT worker I’d just assume she was some kind of adult model/Instagram camwhore.

    1. and if “Jade” wasn’t a whorish enough name, she had to add a superfluous “y” to it

  12. I no longer disguise it when I’m staring at cleavage if the offender’s top is obviously designed for it. I don’t glare or anything, I’m not a savage, but I don’t feel any shame either. It’s just a sort of shit-test. They respect you a little when you brush it aside.

  13. Yes, women routinely dress in appropriately in the workplace. I remember my high school German teacher: she was like 35, wore black miniskirts, hooker boots, etc. And the whole class consisted of 15 year old boys.
    Even now, women wear tank tops to work. Think I can show up to work wearing a tank top? lolz
    How about letting my big ‘ol pecs spill out of a tight top?

  15. Men are expected to dress like Jake from State Farm – unflattering ill-fitting khakis – in the workplace.
    Even suits are designed to minimize male sexual appeal: suits literally cover all skin.

    1. And yet, as Barney from How I Met Your Mother showed us, there are women who still find men in suits appealing. Go figure.

    3. Male in full attire is more sexy than female in full attire.
      Why? Cause women seeks wealth while men seeks sex

    1. I may be old-fashioned but I think Hawaiian shirts and cargo shorts aren’t appropriate for a funeral.
      A family (Parents, their kids and grandkids) all wore that to my mother’s funeral, which wasn’t held anywhere near the tropics. My brother was furious, but knowing the family involved I wasn’t entirely surprised.

  19. Jayde Phoenix? Sounds like the chosen name of stripper, porn star, or nude model. Then she has deliberately altered her appearance and dressed as the name suggests. Talk about a denial of one’s own choices.

    1. I would assume she is, or was, or at least was a cam girl at some point. She gives off the porn worker/hooker vibe.

  26. Jayde Phoenix? Is that actually her government name? I mean that just sounds like a slut/pornstar name…

  27. This article is SPOT ON. Her manager needs to be taken to task for the ad and her unprofessional demeanor.

  29. But I thought you guys wanted women to dress “feminine” and be eye candy?

    1. I think the points is that feminists decry men sexualizing them, yet even in the workplace often choose to dress in a way to emphasize/signal their sexuality.
      I don’t mind, but don’t dress to emphasize sexuality and then complain when people react to you choosing to convey your sexuality.
      I have chosen to grow a rather scruffy beard, I don’t complain or whine when folks notice/comment/react to it.

  30. Speaking as someone with an IT background myself, in all seriousness– her credentials on her LinkedIn are laughable.

  32. First of all, this woman us super hot. Jesus Christ. I mean seriously what is this puritanical closeted homo-speak that has been popping up on this site? Who cares if a woman uses her tits to get a job you weren’t even in the running for?!
    I worked in a more upscale retail store in one of the busiest malls for a month short of three years that I recently quit for a full time job. When I got the job I was desperate and unemployed and I knew the ones in charge of hiring me would mainly be women so after I got hired as a seasonal temp I shamelessly flirted, complimented, and manipulated my way into part time employment away from 1other dude and 5 women.
    All the things this article complains that women can get away with but men can’t I’m sorry for ya. V neck shirts and button ups with no tie and half the buttons undone, I did that. Skinny tight jeans wore those to work too. Leather pants, sweat my balls off but yeah. I even wore tank tops and hoods on shifts when the store was closed.
    I flirted (and even hooked up with rarely) openly with almost every female coworker I ever met. I was just known for it and never gotten written up or embarrased for doing it. I’m definetly not a model, just above average in looks. I sorta empathize with the girl’s “if you got it flaunt it” mentality. Work smart not hard.
    I feel bad for the guys who don’t realize that we as men can play the looks = success thing too. Not all of us obviously, but it’s easier and you can get away with a lot more with little effort.
    Also if you didn’t want to gratify her “attention whoring”, sorry charlie you jusy gave her what she wanted by writing this article.

    1. Well said! The writer of this piece most likely was NOT on the receiving end of the attention whoring and thus go butthurt.
      Attention whoring has a target. This target is high value males.
      There are 2 groups of people who feel offended by this:
      1) Ugly females (fat, old, plain or ugly or all of these) who see their chances with the same high value mean, all women desire, go down the drain.
      2) Low value males who have no chances with the hot babes and only feel bad when seeing what they cant get right in front of their noses.
      Solution: Stop bitching about “revealing cloths” and start working on your own value. Become a high value man yourself!

  33. I’ll wear whatever I want and if you touch me or “treat me like a whore” I’ll slice your dick off. Expect to get your dick sliced off for acting like a douchemeister. And then don’t complain about it.

    1. Stop with the “girl power” internet tough guy bullshit. You’ll do no such thing, at least not without regretting it. That is ridiculous, and no masculine/strong man will tolerate a woman getting out of line like that. Certainly not me.
      Yes, you can wear what you want – and reap the consequences accordingly.

      1. What kind of consequences would those be? Intentionally vague with your threats of sexual assault including rape. Speaking of “tough guy” You are a little itty bitty troll hiding behind a fake picture. Coward. Real men don’t touch women without their consent. Freaks like you do.

        1. No idea what you’re talking about. Not one comment of mine implied anything of a sexual nature or “threats.” You have a warped sense of reality to see “rape” and sexual overtones where they don’t exist, as is often the case with “empowered” women and feminists/SJWs/etc.
          The reset of your comment about “consent” is bullshit and based on feminist rhetoric that has no basis in factual reality as men by their nature aren’t some type of sexual predator.
          Emotionally healthy women don’t talk about “consent’; quite the opposite, actually, and they’ve been known to say so explicitly (women surveyed have indicated they prefer a man leads in sexual interaction).
          Here’s how much of a “coward” I am –
          I’m not too far from Hartsfield International airport, and I’ll meet you there, no problem. You won’t even have to leave the parking deck.
          I’m pretty flexible on days and times. when works for you?

  34. And the guy who helped land a first of its kind mission satellite on a moving asteroid wearing a shirt that had a semi naked woman is an instrument of “misogyny”? What a load of crap.

  35. Typical attention whoring slut. It amazes me. Work out, do squats to achieve a nice ass/body. Go out and buy yoga pants/leggings to show off the nice ass and legs they worked so hard to achieve. Get offended when guys admire the ass they’ve worked for in the leggings they bought to show it off their work. What the fuck.
