Things were far better when you could say well done to a female colleague by administering a firm, open palmed pat on the backside and order female juniors to 'show a bit of leg' during client meetings.

So, let's get this right.... she posted up her picture on a social media site and some man said her picture was "stunning".

I'm failing to see what crime has been committed here?


She has been treated like a sex object even though all she did was make sure the photo she used was well lit, showed her features off in a very complimentary way and enhanced her already attractive looks.

So not attention seeking at all then.


Not in my book........

IF he had commented "Phwoar, what a stunna you are darling blah blah".... then yes, but he merely commented that her picture was "stunning".

You could almost argue that he was commenting on the photographer's skill.

That sounds like you're taking your 'Sexual Harassment' training from a Carry On movie.

You could argue that, but you'd be lying. You'd still know that you contacted her because her picture was pretty.

Its not as sexist, but it sexist, in the same way the term 'the blacks' isn't as racist as 'the ******s'.



I shall be leaving a similarly 'inappropriate' comment on your LinkedIn profile in the near future, Jamie.

Send him a dick pic to compliment said comment.

Context is everything.

If it was a mate at work it is probably ok to say "You look good today" or something similar, though I always think the subtext then is - "Usually you look crap why did you make the effort today?"

I am not sure this is just creepy or something worse. Certainly it is inappropriate - on a business platform. It is demeaning and undermining at the same time. Given the guy is a lawyer you think he might be more informed...then again the t*** is a lawyer.

Deserves everything he gets


As for the "it was just a compliment" crowd. How many would say it to a bloke?

I often compliment my male friends if they're looking well but equally have a pop if they look 'a bit rough around the edges'. Don't we all?

I fully appreciate that the 'stunning' comment was inappropriate but that's all it was.
But for her to 'show the world' is absolutely ridiculous.
I'd sack her before i sacked him tbh.

Edit: Due to their respective 'judgements'.

You know that there is no defence for her nonsense when LegalEagle and Gusset don't show up/jump in with Harriet Harman-esque defences after 4 pages of comments.

Didnt he just say it was a stunning picture? No mention of her looks or sexiness at all. Attention seeking nutter imo but would.

You could message her "I have noticed the controversy. However, when comparing the two pictures your Linkdin one is too old. You clearly need to update it as the one in the paper shows your not actually that fit and your face has bloated. I actually think it is misleading and you are a disgrace to all females".

Having skim read her 'story' in the press one of the things she seems to note is that other people have got job offers through LinkedIn, and she's only got someone commenting on how she looks.

I would like to state here and now that I have also never received any job offers from LinkedIn (just a never ending stream of recruitment agents wishing to connect to me to gain access to my contacts), and also I have never had a comment about my picture being stunning. This is clearly sexist (as it can have nothing to do with my skills or qualifications) and I wish to make a stand right now!

I am available for interviews with the press.
