I went to the university co-op dept. early last semester in hopes of finding an internship somewhere and we had a pre-interview type thing with the person who was in charge of dealing with students in my particular major.
Anyway, I was told it was 'professional dress' so I wore this really cute pantsuit and a really cute scarf. I thought I was smashing!!!!
The intern-guy didn't think so. He said when interviewing for co-ops or internships that I should wear a skirt suit.
I thought he was just being a pig! hehehe
But I guess he probably meant it in the way you described.. women in pant-suits aren't as accepted as we'd like them to be.
