Man Offers Feminist Benign Compliment About Her LinkedIn Picture
There Were No Survivors
Okay, so there were survivors, but everyone's reputation has been sullied and everyone's nerves have been shattered.
Because you can't say something nice about a feminist, ever, because their hearts are full of poison and their heads are full of snakes. This man wrote that the woman's picture was "stunning" and could "win a prize." And then he very mildly expressed an interest in "working together," which, sure, is really code for "I'd like to date you, if you're interested," but still, that is a pretty soft gesture of interest. * And that was it. But that was enough. Because she decided she had to publicly name and shame this Photo Rapist in the press. By the way, having gone into Maenad Outrage mode, some other lawyers at large law firms are now saying that they would not relish working with her. And so she's now also claiming "misogynist blacklash." And this all started because a man said her photo (not her, mind you, but her photo) looked "stunning." That's the basic story; here are some links and quotes. The first story:A barrister has named and shamed a senior partner at a London law firm who sent her a LinkedIn message praising her "stunning" profile picture. Charlotte Proudman received the message from Alexander Carter-Silk, a senior partner at the London office of solicitors firm Brown Rudnick, after they connected on the professional networking site. Mr Carter-Silk sent the controversial message with the subject "RE: PICTURE". It said: "I appreciate that this is probably horrendously politically incorrect but that is a stunning picture!!!! "You definitely win the prize for the best Linked in picture I have even seen. "Always interest [sic] to understant [sic] people's skills and how we might work together." Ms Proudman, who describes herself as a "fearless feminist" on her Twitter biography, replied to Mr Carter-Silk, telling him she found his message "offensive", and his behaviour "unacceptable and misogynistic. "I am on linked-in for business purposes not to be approached about my physical appearance or to be objectified by sexist men. "The eroticisation of women's physical appearance is a way of exercising power over women. It silences women's professional attributes as their physical appearance becomes the subject. "Unacceptable and misogynistic behaviour. Think twice before sending another woman (half your age) such a sexist message." The barrister, who is also studying for [get this] a PhD in sociology at Cambridge University, then took screenshots of the correspondence and posted them to Twitter. Ms Proudman told the Standard she is seeking a public apology from Mr Carter-Silk, has contacted the CEO of Brown Rudnick to complain about the message, and will also be referring the matter to the Solicitors Regulation Authority.You should read the rest. She goes on to describe the comment as an, get this, attack. Now, having drawn huge amounts of attention to herself, she now, get this, draws still more attention to herself, by complaining of the first round of attention she sought:
On Monday afternoon I returned home from work and logged onto my Linkedin account to find a sexist message from a senior partner of a law firm sitting in my inbox. The contents of the message focused on my physical appearance rather than my professional legal skills as a barrister in family law. "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." Like many women (and men), I signed up to Linkedin to connect with professionals in order to enhance my career prospects. Instead, I have received several messages commenting on my appearance and asking me to go on a date. After a catalogue of these similar incidents, I decided to call out sexist behaviour by a fellow lawyer by publishing his message and my response on Twitter. While I am very much aware of the importance of privacy, I named the solicitor who sent the message, because, in my view, the public interest of exposing sexism outweighed any right to privacy here. If people don’t experience the repercussions for their actions, which are plainly wrong, then their behaviour will not change, and neither will sexist culture.Okay, so she herself is endorsing the Name and Shame Paradigm as being critical for "changing behavior." She doesn't actually agrees with this tactic, when people try to change her own behavior from "Intolerable Idiot" to "More Tolerable Idiot," because most of the post (not included here) is reposts of negative tweets about her -- not really all that terrible, mostly just informing her that she is a shrew and an idiot. I would add: "Also not not," if I'm being honest. She is simply "not old" and "not morbidly obese." I guess that counts as "hot" to some.
This is hot? Seriously, Idiot, you should take
every compliment you can get; you can't get that many.
You look like one of those actresses they hire to stand
in the background of shots, collating paper or making coffee,
to serve as bland visual wallpaper and
not distract from the starring actress.
Seriously, you could be Nondescript Female Clerk #3 on
the original British version of The Office.
Then she does some more whining about the consequences of so-called "Call Out Culture" -- and she doesn't like being called out herself:
This complainey chick, who previously claimed she would gladly accept the "misgynistic backlash" if it could mean freedom for one more woman, now, get this, continues complaining about the "misogynistic backlash" she previously said she's gladly, bravely endure. Breitbart's Milo (from whom I got this whole story) writes a letter to this clucking imbecile, explaining it's not her gender that's the problem, it's the fact that her brains are garbage.
It seems to me that women professionals have two choices: either call out sexism and face the prospect of career suicide (incidentally, solicitors have already informed me that they will no longer instruct me in legal cases) or become one of the boys and replicate or humour sexist ‘banter’.
It's not that nobody wants to work with women or feminists. It's that nobody wants to work with jerks. This is the sort of thing a jerk would do, and jerks create PR problems, as you’ve amply displayed here, they're bores to work with, and they make life intolerable. Nobody wants to hire a human minefield.No one likes assholes. No one. I don't think this particular insult is directed enough towards women -- it is "gendered" chiefly to men -- so many women do not realize they are assholes. You, Ms. Proudman, are an asshole. * Yes, he's much older than she is, and yes, he's also married. And yeah, I think that nice hello is a come-on, just as Proudman thought; but still, it's a very soft one. Her email back to him -- noting how olllld he was -- could have been the end of it, but no, she had to go to Twitter, and bring his wife into it, too.

Dudes and especially married dudes: don't do this. If you want to hit on chicks by complimenting their looks go use Tindr. Or whatever, some site that isn't for posting resumes.
Chicks: don't react this way. Not everything is worth breaking the internet .

"Miss "My Very Existence Affirms the Inevitability of Looksist Appearance Hierarchy" announced to all and sundry, "My short skirt, believe it or not, has nothing to do with you." OK. But then why are you wearing a short skirt (and lipstick and the rest)? So that people don't turn their heads and look at you? In order to make yourself look unappealing? Then who or what does your short skirt have to do with?
Once again, the simplest SlutWalk sign raises the deepest questions. In this case, all that is missing to make everything clear is an emphasis on the final word in her message: "My short skirt, believe it or not, has nothing to do with you." In other words, she's dressing up to attract only those people who are in her league, but not you, you disgusting troll. "

Yep. In fact, a woman who used to work for me, and who felt that I was permitting a semi-hostile environment between her coworkers and her, used to remind me of one of my favorite lines in Justified:
"You know your problem? You ever hear the sayin', 'You run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. You run into assholes all day, *you're* the asshole'?"
Going to bet this poor complimented woman runs into assholes all day.

First off, it reminds me of the dude on Seinfeld that called everything "breathtaking". (not that this is what the guy was doing here)
Secondly, The eroticisation of women's physical appearance is a way of exercising power over women.
I always found that to work the opposite, but her experiences I guess differ.

Well, granted LinkedIn is not a dating site, but what exactly is the appropriate context?
I'm not single, but if I were, I'm not sure I'd be thrilled to meet my future wife on a hookup app on my cellphone or in a bar.
Are those the only options for men? If she's not on Tinder or drunk in a bar, don't approach?
I don't know. I just bring it up because my girlfriends friend was recently talking about how lame guys are these days because they're always scared to approach her, and if a guy DOES approach her even if she doesn't find him attractive, she'll still give him her number so as to not embarrass him. (which I also found to be strange, since that's getting his hopes up for no reason).
I don't know the answer, I'm curious though.

i totally get the annoyance factor of having a dude you're not interested in showing interest in you in an "inappropriate place," but,
1. This was done over the internet. It's not like he showed up at her office. She would never even see him unless she made arrangements to.
2. Surely her reaction is all out of any reasonable proportion.
Women are getting a little bit silly about this: I understand no one wants to be approached except by people they find cute, but how the heck do you know that a woman finds you cute or not until you show some interest?

I'm not single, but if I were, I'm not sure I'd be thrilled to meet my future wife on a hookup app on my cellphone or in a bar.
Are those the only options for men? If she's not on Tinder or drunk in a bar, don't approach?
...
women aren't really going to bars to get hit on, either.
essentially they're trying to make this impossible, because, women.
I honestly don't know where women think it's "appropriate" -- I know they think it's appropriate wherever it happens if they DIG the guy (then it turns into a meet-cute story), but men cannot be demanded to be mind-readers, though I know that is VERY high on women's lists of demands.

Then why post your picture, idiot? The only reason to post a picture is to acquaint others with your appearance -- after which you have absolutely no control over who "objectifies" you.
Most American women are damn fools, whiny children, or both. In a way it's not their fault; they've been propagandized into it. But it seems that British women might have the same problem. Who's doing the propagandizing over there?

As far as "women only want to be approached by men they find cute" that's not really the thing at hand, to me. Women don't usually want to be approached as a matter of sexuality/dating in contexts that are not for that. If you approach me with a looks-based comment when I'm presenting myself professionally, you could be Andrew WK, I'm going to be immediately writing you off. Ugly guy approaches at the bar, if he's polite, I'm polite.

My previous work environment was like that. Mostly young single guys, handful of young women -- very few were eligible.
The girls rolled with it. And my girlfriend was good friends with one of my female coworkers and asked her once how she deals with all of the guys flirting with her and hitting on her and she said "to be honest, I kind of like it. I've never been the prettiest girl in the room before, it's nice." or something like that.
Which I feel like is a fairly normal reaction.

Lesson for Men #43:
Hitting on a woman is ALWAYS appropriate if the man is better looking than her or has a much higher social ranking than her (wealthy, famous, etc.).
Hitting on a woman is NEVER appropriate is the man is worse looking than her or has an equal or lower social ranking than her.
Semi-hot women ALWAYS try to "date up."

I mean, my grandfather met my grandmother when she was a cashier at a store in high school and he was just out of the Navy after WWII.
She rang up his groceries or whatever and he asked her out on a date on the spot and she said yes.
I feel like nowadays that would be seen as the worst thing ever -- you can't hit on a girl (especially a 17 year old when you're 21 or whatever) at her PROFESSIONAL WORK ENVIRONMENT. WHAT A PIG!!!
But that story doesn't seem atypical for that generation, or even my parents generation.

I met my wife at work 33+ years ago.
...
a fair number of my married friends met at work. One situation was a secretary-boss type situation (not directly one over the other, but that sort of division).
So they're married. Got a kid. Neither cheated. Both were single.
this case was obvioulsy not some hard hit-on -- yes, the guy expressed SOFT interest, but not obviously, not putting pressure or even much effort.
The game of hooking up consists of putting out this soft interest and seeing how the other person reacts. the ball is in the woman's court to decide whether to respond affirmatively or negatively.
I don't see the problem, i do not see the reason for outrage.

The girls rolled with it. And my girlfriend was good friends with one of my female coworkers and asked her once how she deals with all of the guys flirting with her and hitting on her and she said "to be honest, I kind of like it. I've never been the prettiest girl in the room before, it's nice." or something like that.
Which I feel like is a fairly normal reaction.
Posted by: mynewhandle at September 10, 2015 04:03 PM (AkOaV)
I spent a number of years temping and for awhile I was the person who got sent out to the engineering companies. I asked why, assuming it was because I could at least spell the various and sundry technical terms, if not comprehend them.
Nope. It turned out that I was the one who didn't get upset about the, hmmm, how to put this politely, less than highly honed social skills of the various engineers. I laughed and laughed when I found out because, seriously, those horrible, terrible men who were being oh so rude to me? Ninety-nine percent of them were sweethearts who were trying to be nice to a girl. The one percent who were pervs? A very firm "If you say that to me again, the least of your problems will be HR" generally put that to rights.
Seriously, though, protip to all the "feminists" out there. If you are a self-actualized and strong woman who is in the parking lot of a mechanical engineering firm who is kicking the ever loving shit out of your tire because it's flat and you can't get the lug nuts off? Those very same terribly misogynistic men will suddenly poof appear next to your car, fix the tire, get you something cold to drink and will show you how to fix that problem yourself next time because you might break down out in the woods or the bad part of town and, here, someone go get her a spare Mag light because you have to have the good 5 D cell Mag light and do you know if you swing it like this you can knock someone out and oh here get a whistle too because we know you can take care of yourself but just in case, you can't be too prepared and we can help you get a carry permit.
I speak hypothetically, of course.

I have noticed this about the left.
Saying something a leftists does not like or want to hear is an attack. Because you "attacked" them, they are allowed to do/say whatever vile things they want in retaliation, all while claiming to be a righteously angered victim.
This way they get to continue thinking of themselves as a wonderful person while dressing up their unhinged hate as activism on behalf of others. So noble.

Lesson for Men #43:
Hitting on a woman is ALWAYS appropriate if the man is better
looking than her or has a much higher social ranking than her (wealthy,
famous, etc.).
Hitting on a woman is NEVER appropriate is the man is worse looking than her or has an equal or lower social ranking than her.
Semi-hot women ALWAYS try to "date up."

I do believe I have been negatively impacted by these rules before. Yeah, perceived beta males always get turned down. Beta males with a weak come-on get a hard put-down. And I never had a lot of $$, and it showed sometimes...

what if the woman thinks she's very hot, and the guy only thinks she's okay and well-within-his-range?
Should he get an HR complaint?
Posted by: ace
Doesn't matter what HE thinks. It only matters what SHE thinks.
If she thinks that she herself is hot, then she will only entertain proposals from men very high on the looks/social-ranking scale.
If an unworthy troll, in his delusion, deigns to proposition her because he falsely imagines she's "OK enough" for him, then she will reject him in one of three ways:
1. If she is the rare non-bitchy, non-political beauty, she will politely decline him or simply ignore him.
2. If she is the more commonplace bitch-hottie (or bitch-hottie-in-her-own-mind), she will insultingly slam him down with a snarky comment.
3. If she is the new breed of politicized self-defined-as-beautiful bitches, she will engage in SJW public shaming of the unworthy dude, as we saw in this instance.

With all due respect, that's a load of poppycock. It only depends on whether the woman being hit on likes the guy hitting on her or not. If she does then the context makes no difference. And if she doesn't then the context makes no difference. i.e. the context makes no difference.

The whole interchange has to start somewhere, and there will always be the initial *risky* proposition where one might receive rejection.
In my case, when my attempts at hinting to my (now) wife all fell flat, and disastrously so, I just explicitly stated my intentions were not friendly, they were romantic, and that I was planning to take her out for her birthday. If she didn't want to go she was going to have to tell me out loud she wasn't interested - no hinting. Honestly, I believe that was the moment she fell in love with me, when I acted with conviction and didn't pussy foot around the question. That was almost 11 years ago. We have our fourth kid on the way in March.

The reason why we can't have that is women. They would screw it up in ways that are unimaginable to my male brain. They would be wearing the "hit on me" wristband to the bar when they don't want to get hit on because they want to seem approachable for platonic friendships. Then they would wear the "don't hit on me" bracelet when they want to get hit on because they didn't want to look like a slut.
And after some time it would evolve and there would be 17 different colors of wristbands to signal various incoherent-to-men things, most of which would all be the same color as far as men can tell.

The reason why we can't have that is women. They would screw it up in ways that are unimaginable to my male brain. They would be wearing the "hit on me" wristband to the bar when they don't want to get hit on because they want to seem approachable for platonic friendships. Then they would wear the "don't hit on me" bracelet when they want to get hit on because they didn't want to look like a slut.
---
Of course if "open to being hit on" didn't = "slutty mcnastywhore" to a fair amount of people, it wouldn't be a problem. Or if a girl wearing the "don't hit on me" bracelet simply wasn't hit on, she wouldn't wear it if she really truly wanted to be hit on.
Basically it wouldn't work because people, men and women alike, are crazy inconsistent creatures.
Bleh.

He said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend." I smiled and said, "You didn't. I'm not going to get offended at a compliment." I knew he wasn't coming on to me. Even if he was, I'm a big girl, I can handle it without running to HR or whining on Twitter.
Of course, he lucked out that time. He complimented a woman who appreciated a compliment and was flattered by it, rather than some easily offended, vindictive manhater.

You say that now, but believe me, your feet will, well,put their feet down. I wore heels constantly until I was in my late 30's and then one day, my feet said "No more! We've had it!"
I can wear shoes with very small kitten heels and shoes with modest wedge heels but that's it. I tried to rebel by buying a great pair of sandals with a 3 inch heel for a wedding this summer - and I couldn't even walk across the room in them. :-(

Breitbart's Milo (from whom I got this whole story) writes a letter to this clucking imbecile, explaining it's not her gender that's the problem, it's the fact that her brains are garbage.
It's not that nobody wants to work with women or feminists. It's that nobody wants to work with jerks. This is the sort of thing a jerk would do, and jerks create PR problems, as you've amply displayed here, they're bores to work with, and they make life intolerable. Nobody wants to hire a human minefield.

Eh, I think that situation is different. You guys were already acquainted and he paid you a compliment that would've been appropriate coming from your brother.
This guy's first communication with her was a come-on, a comment about her looks followed by a "we should totally do something together"-type thing. It doesn't make him Satan or anything, but it does make it different from the situation you described.
I admit I am a bit prickly about compliments from dudes (I mean, I say thank you as a general rule but sometimes that gets weird, too) so I think that's coloring my reaction.

Not because she is a Woman, but because of her attitude, and the chaos and lawsuits it will bring. Simple self preservation will force this.
Thus, she creates the very situation which will reinforce her belief in the Patriarchy, and it being against her... thus garnering sympathy, and attention... which is her REAL goal.

Not sure why I was carrying this now except I THINK she was going to come over and cook for a party or something. Anyway! Some college guy goosed me and I took a swing at him. Had I hit him he would not have been smiling. Instinct. Redneck, raised with wolves, brothers and football). Did I enjoy the looks and smiles otherwise? Yep.

We are in absolute agreement that she should've either ignored this dude or responded privately. Making it a public incident was a Very Terrible Thing. Randomly emailing come-ons to strangers from a professional networking site is a Mildly Annoying Thing

No, but it feels better if you warm it up a bit first.

Him: Could you help settle a bet between my friend and I?
Her: Sure
Him: my friend says you have sea green eyes and I say....you're a dirty little whore.

In this day and age, the idiot should have known better to do something like that. I have seen people get brought up an inch from being fired for saying something a 3rd party heard and complained about, let alone saying something directly toa woman that she found offensive.
BTW, avoid working for Amex in their call centers. PC to an insane degree. That English woman would feel at home there.

scream about how it was trivializing the SERIOUS YOU GUYS!!!! problem of
catcalling/rape culture."
What made me really laugh was the original NYC catcall-walk video wherein it was pointed out after it was released that... gosh golly whillikers, all of the guys who are rudely catcalling and bluntly approaching this woman for sex are black or Hispanic, not a white guy in the bunch, and HEY WHAT EXACTLY ARE THE FILMMAKERS IMPLYING HERE ANYWAY ELEVENTY!!!
And then the panicked backtracking by the producer of the film who swore up and down that there had been _tons_ of white guys crudely catcalling his subject. Dozens! Hundreds! Really! Realio trulio! Cross my heart and hope to die! It's just that, um, well, er, you see, it's like this... _the audio didn't come out right_ on those shots involving white guys. And only those shots. Purely by coincidence, you understand! Swearsies! Pinky swearsies!

It downloads the streaming videos I enjoy, but because it is on my wrist, it is difficult for me to perform other tasks while watching the videos I enjoy. Is their an upgrade that addresses these issues?

Good grief. I do think the guy was being a bit of a sleaze, but just ignore him and move on.

Nope, the stakes are too high for men. Any accusation can result in ruin. Absolute, long-term ruin of reputation and livelihood.
In the workplace, treat women politely and briefly, with as little fraternization as possible. Compliments, except on a specific task, are insane. Only look at a gal while she's speaking. It's the way the laws and culture run now.
Outside the workplace, she makes the first move or nothing happens. Ever. Worked that way with my wife.
Seems like dating sites are practically the only way for men and women to fraternize anymore. No wonder birth rates are plummeting. Wait 'til the sexbots become a reality, the human race will disappear like hoarfrost.

Exactly, it's a simulacrum of power. Which is why I bet Charlotte has some serious kink in her closet.
Excellent point. Scratch a feminist and see a SADIST/Dominatrix.

Posted by: Soothsayer, now with a low profile tip and ergonomical handle
All has been explained long ago in my original SlutWalk post:
http://www.zombietime.com/deconstructing_slutwalk/
A sampling:
"
Contradiction #2: Look at me / Don't you dare look at me!
The kind of people who participate in things like SlutWalks are inherently attention-seekers. Show-offs. Hams. You know the type. They want to be the center of attention. On the other hand, part of the message of SlutWalk is that women don't always appreciate being the objects of men's desire. The end result is a very disorienting attitudinal whiplash among many of the participants.
This sign encapsulates the whole internal self-contradiction with breathtaking brevity: "I'm a SEXY woman. So what?"
Clear enough for you? I thought not.
And then there were the "Foxes 4 Sexual Freedom," a small group of SlutWalkers who both did and did not want attention.
One of the Foxes 4 Sexual Freedom wore a furry fox outfit, which she purposely left open, partly exposing her breasts. She obviously did this so people would look at her. And naturally the photographers sought her out.
But whenever anyone tried to take a photo of her, she got mad and said, "Hey -- no pictures!"
So: You go to a public protest, wear a crazy costume, and expose yourself -- and then demand that no one look at you?!?
Contradiction #3: Looksism is unfair and patriarchal / See how gorgeous we are?
One of the underlying messages of SlutWalk is inclusiveness, and sisterhood: We reject the male value system in which one's appearance is the basis of one's worth. All women are equally valued, and you don't have to be "a certain kind of pretty." But on the other hand, many of the women there...tried to look their best.
Wait -- are we trying to reject the judgmental looks-based culture, or are we are still competing with each other to see who can turn more heads?
Even the SlutWalk organizers violated their own principles:
Remember the banner at the front of the march? The organizers had to choose someone from the crowd to hold up the banner.
Did they choose...
...this person? No.
Did they choose...
...this person? No.
Instead, they chose...
...this person. Hmmmm, do I detect a little bias?
Now, it is common practice at parades and marches to choose the best-looking people and put them right at the front, to make the whole thing more photogenic. Happens all the time. But this event is supposed to be a protest against the objectification of women. And yet even so, they fell into the same old pattern.
The only person at SlutWalk who really seemed fully committed to the principle of anti-looksism was this Planned Parenthood canvasser, who had the genetic raw material to be a runway model if she wanted -- tall, slender, perfectly symmetrical face, etc. -- but chose to reject all that and instead purposely uglified herself by shaving off all her hair and joining an abrasive political group. Kudos for true dedication! If you got it, don't flaunt it. To do otherwise would be unfair to all the other wymyn. "
etc.

I was about to say that I wouldn't kick her out of my bed. But then I thought about and, yes, I would kick her out of my bed:
1. she's a fucking feminist
2. she's a fucking lawyer
I do think the guy was being a bit of a sleaze, but just ignore him and move on.
Yes on both parts.

Seriously enough, I've given up. I haven't bothered since Vickie passed away in '09. And I see absolutely no reason to try now. Not with emotional minefields like Charlotte lurking, hidden, waiting.

I'm glad to have seen this post, because now I know better than to hit on her. Better that she should live alone with 64 cats thirty years from now, rather than be chained to some cisgender penis-wielder like me.

Radical feminists, SJWs and their ilk appear to take to heart the old '60s maxim "The Personal Is Political". A slogan which has always chilled me to the bones.
