Everyday sexism or harmless fun?

Commenting on her picture is immediately inappropriate,

 

No its not. lol.

 

you wouldn't do it to someones face, particularly not a stranger, and that's exactly the same thing.

Erm, yes people do this. This is how they meet, have sex and procreate.

so if she feels that, send a private message simply saying 'I find your comments inappropriate' - why publicly shame, distribute to media and grandstand about it?

 

:confused:

 

Because a private message doesn't achieve anything. He doesn't change, nobody else changes, other people still think that commenting on women's appearance is perfectly acceptable in a business context.

Making it clear in public that it isn't acceptable might cause someone to reassess themselves and stop that kind of behaviour. I doubt he'll do it again for example.

Are you in an office environment?

 

Try going up to a female employee that you don't know and tell her how she looks good.

 

Get back to us on whether you have the opportunity to procreate or are up for a disciplinary hearing next week.

The first time my boyfriend approached me he said 'you have the most beautiful smile I have ever seen'

 

7 yrs on and were very happy together.

 

Imagine if I had gone to the papers straight away indignant with rage!! :hihi:

You felt the NEED to inform us you are a woman..the point is you are complicit. Being a woman doesn't somehow negate you from misogyny. There are women who directly and indirectly reinforce it, which empowers it.

 

Whatevs dude! I was just offering my opinion.

Who reckons Cyclone has had his wrist slapped in the past for being a naughty boy with the ladies in the office!
