It's fine as a choice. What I resent is the idea (and there may well be some truth to it, which is worse) that if I don't fit a certain style of body, nobody is going to care that I'm qualified for a job.
What's really weird is the related idea that there are right and wrong ways to get that appearance: not just "thou shalt not have hair on thy chin" but that it's unfeminine to use a razor there, and equally unfeminine that I don't shave my legs and armpits. I don't know what the people who interview me are going to ask this afternoon, but I'd be astonished if it included "how do you keep your chin so smooth?"
