"Serious spacers don’t parade around their starships half dressed. Or wearing tight clothing and heels so high they could puncture a floor. Serious spacers wear no make-up, don’t dress their hair, and never ever ever wear jewelry. Serious spacers hate girl things because girl things make them seem unserious and seeming unserious prevents them from getting work."
Quasar links out; the story lives on Asimov's, where the author gets the click.
