You may or may not have noticed some recent wardrobe decisions among some of your favourite anchors at Global BC in Burnaby, B.C.

Sophie Lui, Chris Gailus, Sonia Sunger, Jason Pires, Katelin Owsianski and Kristi Gordon, all decided to wear their same outfit for one week straight to see if society's gender norms played a role the comments they received.

During the week when Gailus and Pires wore the same outfit, there were no messages to the station about their clothing.

When Lui, Sunger, Owsianski and Gordon wore the same outfit the following week, many emails and messages came in asking why.

Most of the comments expressed curiosity about the change.

Here's what the anchors and Kendra Strauss, a geographer and feminist political economist at Simon Fraser University, had to say about the experiment.
