That might be true if she was actually stunning…I’m pretty sure I don’t reaaly care if I saw her naked or not though, in all honesty. The quality of the photo is definitely more stunning than the subject matter.
In all srs tho, I spose it’s context. I.e. when that Thatcher woman was President, if she had stood up at Prime Minister’s question time, and all the questions was along the lines of i.e. “Might I say, what a nice dress you are wearing today, it really makes ur eyes pop,” and i.e. “Would the Prime Minister please accept the opinion of this house, that she’s got a smashing pair of tits for an older bird”, it might have been seen as a bit patronising.

that’s where we differ i spose, i want to see all the birds naked. Even the ones with 70s haircuts.
I grew up within the naturist community. Trust me. You don’t want to see all birds naked.
I have downvoted you Sad Git because you went a bit mental there, started ranting like a confused loon and I didn’t believe your winky eyed smiley.

Oh lord. I left this thread for 5 minutes and now it’s gone wild. Too many questions for me to answer! I don’t even know where to start. So to sum up your feelings on this:
-
he was just paying her a nice a comliment
-
you’d have liked the comliment if you’d have received it
-
just cos he said something nice she thought he wanted to shag her
-
but she’s not that hot anyway
-
and Lou’s got a sexy avatar so she’s a hypocrite.
And that doesn’t even cover page 6! Blimey boys, you’re making hard work of this. Best not tell you what I thought of Trainwreck, that’ll send you into overdrive!
Ha, Bearsy nervously changing sides, given strength of opinion over the last two pages… 
Woah I don’t take sides! I just post the dumb thoughts that come in my head in the order that they come in my head! I can always see both sides on almost anything cos that is my curse. I.e in this situation, I can easily see that both parties is cunts.

I wouldn’t mind! I wouldn’t be offended! They were Bearsy’s anyway, I just finished them off. But we do need some… No way I’m using the dopey default ones.
Oh that was below the belt Bear.
You should know by now that the papster spat his Star Trek Dummy out ages ago and sees everyting as a Force or Nothing. He’ll be Awakening soon, but he will never go Beyond.
It was tongue in cheek but fair dos, in a democracy people are entitled to vote the way they want to.
Serious question though, do you think that if one of the guys she responded to on FB had written to her on LinkedIn the way that Carter-Silk had do you think she would have outed them on Twitter too? The clue here is the fact that she put (half your age) in your response. There is also another clue where she says that “people” are using LinkedIn as a dating site so you would think from that comment that Carter-Silk isnt the only person making “objective” remarks to women but he is the only one she thought fit to out.
Having read numerous responses on this issue I am happy with my stance. It has clearly divided opinion but I have read more anti Proudman posts than pro and many of them are from women.
Carter-Silk made an “objective” remark about his own daughter under a picture of her on FB, do we then assume that he wants to have sex with her?
And I am still trying to get my head around much of this…correct me if I am wrong Lou but it seems that if you say something nice to a woman she infers that you want to shag her. If she wants to shag you too then it is ok, if she finds you unfanciable then it is not ok?

No, SOG. I’m not sure why you’re bringing sex into this, no one has referenced shagging. Whether or not he wanted to have sex with her is immaterial.
I’ve had a three experiences recently of unwelcome attention in my professional environment, and I work in a female dominated sector. They were either embarrassing, awkward or slightly menacing. I’ve also had lots of experience with the fun side of working with guys - the difference between flirting, compliments, fun behaviour is massively clear. No confusion whatsoever on any level.
This woman, working in a male dominated field, said she’d had enough of these comments about her looks in a business environment, so she made an example of one of them. When you’re career focussed, being contacted by someone senior in your industry to be told you have a stunning picture, is insulting. Rather than interact with her as a serious business contact, he treated her like a bit of fluff; a bit of eye candy. She’s been able to contrast the reaction she gets on LinkedIn compared to her boyfriend. I can believe it.
Of my three experiences, I’ve handled them (as many women do) in a sidestepping manner. Ie, I get embarrassed, I awkwardly go out of my way to avoid that person until they get bored and find someone else to pester. Trouble with that is no one ever learns. Like I said at the start of this thread - she was brave. I’d never have the nerve.
