“So I get eye r@p3d at work like… by almost every male I work with and it makes me uncomfy,” she explained.
She sported a bright blue business-casual dress and did a 360-degree turn to show it off in its entirety.
The content creator asked her audience for an opinion.
“Lmk: am I dressed inappropriately???” she requested.
“Let’s play a game: inappropriate outfit or are men just creepy? #protectblackwomen.”
People took to the comments to share their thoughts on her question.
Many didn’t think the issue was the dress.
“This is, like…THE most inoffensive business attire possible?” said one commenter.
“But also, even if it wasn’t, your coworkers still need to respect you???”
Others agreed with her sentiments.
“You are dressed perfectly appropriately,” said another.
“You just happen to be a gorgeous human being who WEARS that dress. They just jealous!”
A few believed it wasn’t the choice of outfit that was the problem for men at her workplace, it was the body.
“I have that dress in pink (I work in HR) and get the same looks when I wear it to work,” shared a third.
“Some people can’t handle curves.”
