Quote from Carla in My Clean Break
Elliot: You know, I shouldn't have to feel bad for wanting to look good. You don't, what with your bohemian scarves and pirate earrings. Carla: Thank you for noticing. But still, it's different for nurses, we're not judged for being feminine. But when you're a doctor, if you put in too much effort the men will never take you seriously and the women will think you're trying to show them up. It's a dumb stereotype. You just have to decide if it's worth the hassle.
