My sister fits the Western ideal of a beatiful women - young, thin, blonde, tall, green eyes, you get the drift. She has definitely had poor treatment from colleagues over the years. Some colleagues don't take her seriously. She has, sadly, experienced older woman saying very blunt things to her about her appearance like 'are you anorexic?' or 'how come you are so thin, don't you eat?' Many of these instances have left my sister in tears. She has had colleagues who have tried to undermine her, and then colleagues who feel they need to confess to her why they are overweight and didn't make it to the gym that morning. Thankfully, my sister has always been taken seriously by her employers - and I believe it is because she is a conscientious worker. She works hard. Incidentally, she doesn't realise how beautiful she is.
