"Don't Smile"??? Poppycock.
Policing of women's facial expressions goes on, including by women. Hillary Clinton has been chided by reporters for "not smiling enough" when discussing serious things, and now comes a woman complaining that she smiled too much at the town-hall debate. This article in the NYT, http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/projects/cp/opinion/clinton-trump-second-debate-election-2016, by Judith Shulevitz (first part, titled as above) really ticked me off. (Warning: this is about politics and sexism. There are other places to read if you're tired of either.)
