(Well, okay. I tend to smile at people I pass. I'm not going to take time to wonder if that's just the way I am or if that's the patriarchy that can go fuck itself.)
i do that too, and now you've got me wondering.

the least i ever paid for a suit was $250 from h&m. the return policy was 14 days so naturally on the 15th day the crotch ripped wide open.
I suggested "smile".
Comb your hair, Irvine. And you have a little schmutz on your face ... here, let me get that.

Look at what this thread has become. See what happens when you tell Hillary Clinton to smile?
Oh well. I'm sure Trump will do something appalling in the next few hours and we'll move on.
I'm just sick and tired of all the sexism,
all of the remarks about Hillary's appearance
when has anybody ever said anything about trump's appearance?
I was impressed with Hillary's toughness, with her refusal to be rattled by anything coming out of Trump's mouth. She appeared very stately to me, aggressive at times but always composed.
When I started the job I'm at now, I was the youngest person in the department by 25 years. A few people used to rub my hair and call me "kiddo." Wasn't too much a fan of that.

Talk to me about how much easier I have it that I just get to wear a suit when it's 95 degrees out and the 6 train is delayed
Of course context is everything. Just like one man saying "Hey sexy, looking good" to a random woman on the street comes across one way, and another man saying "What a lovely spring dress" (which actually happened to me this year) comes across another.

[ Music sting, as a piece of paper marked "Lawsuit" is held before the camera ]
[ cut to Lisa's desk, as Frank cautiously approaches from the rear ]
Announcer: Here's the wrong way to approach a female co-worker.
Frank: [ showing his nervous enthusiasm ] Hey, Lisa! You look pretty hot today. Maybe we should have lunch sometime.
[ Lisa is silent, perhaps caught off guard, but, after a beat, picks up her phone and dials an authority figure ]
Announcer: Uh-oh! That didn't go over well.
[ Frank is petrified at Lisa's response, as he envisions the piece of paper marked "Lawsuit" being held before him ]

Greg: Hi.

Announcer: The eye contact alone makes her uncomfortable, and authorities are contacted.
[ a security guard arrives at the scene and hauls Greg away ]
Announcer: Here's what he should have done:
[ scene wipes back to its start, with Greg approaching Tina while not wearing pants. Sensitive to Greg's presence, she turns around and smiles. ]
Tina: Hey, Greg! Want to have lunch sometime?
Greg: Sure! How about tomorrow?
Tina: Okay. Here's my home number. [ hands her number to Greg ]
Greg: Great! [ he deposits Tina's number in the bulge of his underwear, then exits ]
