Moran says that she believes women being judged on what they wear is a phenomenon that is not extended to men. "They have never felt that uncomfortable moment when someone assesses what you're wearing and then starts talking down to you... or presumes you won't 'understand' the conversation 鈥 be it about work, parenting or culture 鈥 simply because of what you put on that day. 'Wait!' you often feel like saying. 'If I were wearing my collegiate corduroy jacket, instead of this school-run dress, you would include me in your conversation about Jung! If you could see my 'politically engaged' shoes, no way would you talk about Barack Obama like that to me! Look! I can show you a picture of it on my iPhone! I HAVE AN OUTFIT FOR THIS OCCASION 鈥 JUST NOT ON ME!'"
