Girls want to be able to choose how to look. Femininity often causes people in the sciences (and other places too) to take you less seriously. So, there’s negative consequences to choosing to look pretty, making it less of a free choice.

So they will avoid doing things if how they look doing them isn’t how they want to look?

  Some of them might, a lot of them won’t. But most of them would be happier if personal freedom of expression weren’t at direct odds with professional fulfilment. Just like, yano, human beings in general.

  Would you go in a field in which everyone wears short shorts and you get stared at if you don’t?
  
  Would you “not mind” if your company dress code (for a well paired white collar job) is pink shirt with orange blazer?
  
  Make it absurd and flip it to yourself. Suddenly, you want to wear “normal clothes” but you stick out like a sore thumb if you do. Would you feel comfortable? Day in, day out?
