Is this gone too far? it seems harmless enough...

 

Why do females post selfies, pictures on facebook if they dont wish to be objectified? Ive seen it countless times, and some blatantly professional people. It seems like some women treat as an ego boost.

 

I find this confliction very strange.

And it weakens the feminist debate...if you don't want comments and want to be taken seriously stop posting pictures on 'social' media and sexualising yourself would be my suggestion....

Jeez. She needs to lighten up. Also, if I were her, I'd take that compliment and run with it as I think it's probably a wee bit generous.

 

..and that poor bloke had to publicly apologise and name dragged through mud. Struggling to see what comment caused such offense.

If roles were reversed would he object to a woman saying he is attractive I dont think any men would. So why do women have a problem with it.

 

I would be flattered if I received such a complement from a woman. It has gone to far.

Some people need to get a life. If people didnt fancy each other wed be doomed as a species. It seems saying though these days makes you a perv if your a man.

To put into context, here's the linkedin email in full:

 

Charlotte, delighted to connected, I appreciate this is probably horrendously incorrect but that is a stunning picture !!!" it read. "You definitely win the prize for the best Linked in (sic) picture I have ever seen. Always interest to understant (sic) people's skills and how we might work together. Alex."

 

(She has a professional photograph, this man is a fellow lawyer)

 

And this is her twitter sig:

 

#fearlessfeminist because rape, prostitution & pornography are problems of male dominance

That's not sexist! that's a compliment and was probably trying to charm her.. She's obviously got daddy issues!
