Focus on flattering your coloring, which will stay constant,<br />

instead of wearing shorts with words that draw attention<br />

to your perky butt, which you will lose.<br />

When you work out, focus on getting stronger and healthier,<br />

not hotter.<br />

Don't worry about making yourself look flawless with<br />

makeup. everyone has flaws. If you still want to wear makeup,<br />

play up your favorite features and experiment with color.<br />

Shrug off comments on your appearance.<br />

A stranger saying, "Hi, gorgeous," doesn't matter. Don't<br />

act like it does. Since you do have to process it, interpret it as<br />

meaning you look happy today.<br />

Be aware of negative stereotypes of women and don't exhibit<br />

them around male colleagues.<br />

Masculinity is strong, and femininity is weak. Those are<br />

the house rules. Don't undermine your professional image<br />

with the power brokers. Maintain your non-beauty value.<br />

Work to succeed according to your own values.<br />

That's how you circumvent the house rules.<br />

Mother Teresa didn't have to be hot.<br />

The bad news is that you're not going to be able to change<br />

the broader picture, and you will not be able to totally shake<br />

this feeling because that is the way the world is.<br />

When you're featured in an article on female gamers, the<br />

number one question many men will have is whether you're<br />

hot. When you're walking down the road, men will evaluate<br />

your ass when they drive by and let you know if you passed<br />

their lust assessment. Those are experiences you can't avoid.<br />

You've just got to write them off as haters (woman-haters,<br />

to be more specific) and rise above it.<br />
