Attractive businesswomen viewed as less trustworthy 'femmes fatales'

A Washington State University researcher says attractive businesswomen are considered less trustworthy, less truthful and more worthy of being fired than less attractive women.

Rather, the effect taps into more primal feelings of sexual insecurity, jealousy and fear among both men and women.
