Sexism Row

Well if you're gonna insist women are as bad as men (which statistics show isn't the case but hey ho - in academia for example women experience far far higher levels of unprofessional behaviour directed towards them) then you have to at least admit more workplaces are male dominated than female dominated. Therefore it is more of an issue this way round.

Also most female dominated fields are in the public sector, where this crap is far less tolerated.

I was watching the news today, and I looked into this "Sexism Row" discussion.

A female lawyer accused a male lawyer for being sexist, because he gave her a compliment. He said that her picture is "stunning" and was highly offended by this comment.

Now, she has made it a big deal to the point where it's on National TV and she is still trying justify herself on why the comment is sexist.

The male lawyer is also being shamed on television, because of it!!!!

I think it's a ridiculous accusation.

What do you think about this?

This!

Women in male dominated workplaces have to put up with this **** constantly, when will people understand that a) we couldn't give a flying **** what you think about our looks and b) professional environments are not the place to hit on people.

It's not the same for men, it just isn't. My partner used to work somewhere dominated by older women. People treated him as a professional equal and he wasn't hit on once.

The comment was wrong in the context it was given, undoubtedly, but, as others have said, so was making the guy's name public.
She is doing this to advance her public image (probably looking for a way in to politics) ("...has been building up her media profile for the past three years by writing for the Guardian, the Independent and several magazines, as well as being a guest on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour..." and I sincerely hope it backfires for her catastrophically.
"If men and women were truly equal, she said, “men’s genitals would be sliced up” in the same way that some women are subjected to female genital mutilation (FGM)"


*rolls eyes*

Sorry if these points have been covered, I cba to read all nine pages.

Your sarcasm and non stop moaning is starting to get annoying as ****. Another radical feminist who clearly doesn't know what sexism really is.

yeah but thats on the daily mail

It is not public property to be talked about.

You might prefer that people see your appearance as more important than your abilities and achievements but I don't want to live in a world where people judge men and boys on their words and actions and women and girls on their looks. My body is no-one else's business. It is not public property to be talked about. Just because someone else thinks a comment on it is a compliment doesn't mean I do. I do not need to know anyone's opinion on my appearance to feel good about it and it's arrogant to think that I care what anyone else thinks.

If someone said "hey you did good work."

A male of a certain age would be wise in any social. Circle or workplace about comments that can be misinterpreted , but she could have done this without the publicity

Why does he feel the need to compliment a female coworker on her appearance?

Her appearance has zero relevance to her ability to effectively perform her job.

Yeah, I agree with you. all the feminizis on my Facebook were going mad. I 'liked' an article that a right-wing journalist wrote shaming the woman, and I noticed my friend count went down afterwards. I then investigated to see who had deleted me and realised it was the radical feminists ! Haha.Tbh if she was seriously insulted and wanted to shame him, she should at the very least of hidden both of their identities.
