A report claiming Donald Trump wants female members of his staff to "dress like a woman" is garnering significant backlash online.
A source in the report, who worked on Trump's campaign, said, "We hear that women who worked in Trump's campaign field offices — folks who spend more time knocking on doors than attending glitzy events — felt pressure to wear dresses to impress Trump." There was always pressure to "look neat and orderly," even while wearing jeans.
Twitter users responded to this claim that female staff members are expected to dress like "typical, feminine women" with the hashtag #DressLikeAWoman and pictures of their daily womanly attire.

If dressing like a woman means getting things done and making a difference, these warriors are saying "bring it on."
