‘Dress like a woman’ Twitter responds to Trump’s latest decree
President Donald Trump seems to be very interested in how women dress and present themselves.
According to a report by Axios, Trump likes the women who work for him "to dress like women."
How to #DressLikeAWoman
Step 1: Be a woman
Step 2: Put on literally any article of clothing

Twitter was quick to take this statement to have sexist implications, and quickly responded to the president's seemingly sexist standards.

After all, what does it really mean to "dress like a woman?" A skirt and high heels at all times?
Twitter users have been uploading pictures of themselves dressed like women, but probably not quite in the gender-typical way Trump meant.

The women are proving that females can be tough and feminine at the same time.
They are proving that their skills and worth are not effected by not dressing in a traditionally feminine fashion.

Women working for the Trump campaign reportedly felt pressure to wear dresses in order to impress the POTUS.
"Even if you're in jeans, you need to look neat and orderly," the source told Axios.

According to Axios' source, looking the part is hugely important to Trump due to his history with TV work, and it applies to both men and women.
The source explains that guys "need to have a certain look" and "be sharply dressed", and that Trump has a particular obsession with ties.

While the alleged rules may also apply to men, Trump hasn't previously fat shamed men or made any comments about wishing to grab them by their genitalia, so the movement to educate the POTUS on what women wear day-to-day is more than reasonable.
After all, there are plenty of kick-ass women out there today who slay at what they do, with or without the skirt.
