To be fair Tikay - I think her saying "hot stuff" about a guy who she knows on facebook is completely different to random old guy saying she looked nice on a professional site. Not sure why the papers think this makes her a hypocrite.
I do think her reaction has been ridiculous in the extreme though.
We don't know that she knows them. Well it is a much better assumption than assuming she was a hypocrite. Interesting how the journalists think this muck slinging is fair game as she has created this outrage, when in reality the newspapers do at least as much to create the outrage. Well you win that argument. no way I'm ever defending the press. |

I have just as much 'banter' with female colleagues as I do male. It's a good bunch. I have no idea what point you are trying to make.
This has gone on long enough. I accept that you are not sexist and that I was wrong to attribute views to you in the manner that I did. I hope you will accept my apology for including your post in the original set of quotes and for the inappropriate defence of having done so. OK. Now do me.  |

Sure no worries. Think we are probably of the same mind (even if I expressed it more aggressively). He has been inappropriate but she has over-reacted. |

The missing point here is as in her words LinkedIn is not Tinder. |

The missing point here is as in her words LinkedIn is not Tinder. She added this random old guy, he did not add her. She either knows him or selected him as potentially beneficial to her network which is very elitist and not actually the spirit of linked in, where you connect with individuals you work with or have done business with. If some random adds me on any platform I think I naturally believe they "want a piece" it's universal |

I was going to say but that is facebook, but nah that is really creepy. This fella really seems to struggle with the borders of acceptable behaviour in various places.

we don't have many ladies posting regularly...
Any thoughts on why that might be the case? The more I think about it the more I'm against her. I mean for god sake so what if his intent was to pull her? It's not as if he used a company message board to do it.
It's a bloody compliment! Stupid bitch!
I'm with bobblehat. She will have spent half the morning trying to look nice, and then she kicks off when someone says it. Stupid vindictive attention seeking bitch. She's in the evening standard tonight keeping it up. "I want him to acknowledge he has done something wrong" and she is pursuing the CEO of his company to that end.
Of the issue of privacy she says her actions are in the public interest.
In my opinion she's a vindictive moron.
Turn it on its head and let's say the woman posted the comment to the man.
Does anyone seriously think that a bloke would take offence when a woman pays him a compliment.
If he did complain then he needs to grow a pair as well.
On a recent flight back from the USA i was sat right at the rear near the galley.. so traffic of the stewardesses was high.. One of the stewardesses was perhaps mid forties and not unattractive but not my particular cup of tea generally.. wearing my earphones and watching an in flight movie i became aware of her stroke the top of my arm.. I assumed it was to get my attention ( i suppose it was ) As I took my earphones off she said ' i think you have lovely arms ' I was a little taken aback.. smiled awkwardly and said thank you... Now you could argue that this was highly inappropriate and unprofessional.. but do you know something I was quite chuffed... In true Mantis stlye obv if the kids wernt with me id been in the loo smashing its back doors in  Despite my levity I think it was very nice..and ladies.. you can give us guys compliments too..we actually like them Our local pub is full of blokes making sexist remarks. It's full of women too. Perhaps if we start buying the girls on here a drink? |

Anybody seen Liv Boeree's Twitter feed from burning man?
I am too stupid to do a link from my phone, but the photos are pretty good. The wings one, not the bum one, if somebody could oblige.

we don't have many ladies posting regularly - some but not many - i wonder if their perspective on this would be any different?
 No not much different from my point of view. If he had been the one to initiate contact and his opening gambit had just been the middle paragraph, then maybe she'd have some kind of point. In her shoes I'd probably have thought something along the lines of 'that's a bit inappropriate' and just not replied. Certainly wouldn't have taken any other action - probably not even have mentioned it to anyone else. Casual and latent sexism is, sadly, still an issue in this day and age, but in order to try to challenge it effectively I think it's important to pick your battles - something like this would be way down that list. Ultimately I think this whole affair will do a lot more damage to her career prospects than to his - I'd rather work with the slightly sexist bumbling old man than the woman with a massive chip on her shoulder. and lol @Mond - reminds me of the epiphany moment I had a couple of years ago when I realised Nickelodeon wasn't just a made up word! |
