Referring to a woman as 'stunning' is sexist you fiends

That fringe looks awful. Should have had it parted just left of centre.

If she doesn't want any attention why does she have all that slap all over her boat? He was certainly sleazy and inappropriate but I don't know if he was sexist. She was certainly ageist though.

maybe he was just praising the picture quality though?

Can't see what he's done wrong,although I think he needs to visit Specsavers.

in 30 years time she might cherish the odd compliment.

So why does she post on a professionals' chit chat site???   

Just wondering if she had her way how would male and female meet if we are not allowed to mention attraction.  We would die out as a species.

I have it now - she is a closet muslim and wants women covered in plastic bin bags.

Artie the male model

I think women need to go away and get their story straight.

They like to be treated differently and believe in chivalry....yet want to be treated the same.

How many men treat other men with chivalry?

Do they really wont men to treat them like other men?

Or do they expect men's behavior towards their own sex to also change?

So obvious she's out on a crusade.

The interesting point is that she contacted him first.

Would it have been ok for him to comment to another that he found her picture stunning?

Jamesdean the dildo.

By not displaying any discretion, I'm not sure her career will prosper.

Wish a bird said I looked stunning...

Silly tart.
Mind you, I'd accept a nosh, even if it just meant not having to listen to that very annoying voice.

would you then bite her head off injera?

Yep, kiss of death. She has publicly embarrassed a senior member of her profession.

I'd be immensely flattered to get a comment like that.

Why do women wear makeup, tight dresses and heels to the office if they don't want people to stare and comment?

maybe she just really really wanted to tell everyone somebody found her attractive?

Artie single 1.01

^ that was to dustybin

a few singles on here i reckon, certainly know chuff all about how women think and act.

just shout 'SHOE SALE' at her and see her run

DIE LINKE  -'how women think and act'   ha ha ha ha ha ha!!  that's a good 'un.

ps
I love women.

She must be a virgin


My work colleagues would have just told her she was fit and asked if she fancied a quickie

bloody annoying with those staples across their midriff though, isnt it?

So why does she post on a professionals' chit chat site??? 


You've never been on it, have you? it is certainly not a chit chat site. The fact you are made aware of whenever someone even looks at your profile usually keeps things on a professional footing

HA HA  FKN  HA HA  Come on she was putting herself about and using her looks, let's not kid ourselves here eh???

Did she not say she delt in family law?
Isn't that just like divorce advice to wimin?

Sounds a lot to me like a shop front for selling her services to like minded females.

she has done a good job self publicist - brilliant - there are a lot of sneaks like this around in the media yuk!!!

Huge contradiction here in my opinion. She says she does not want to be seen through the eyes of a picture and her physical appearance but the picture she posted focusses entirely on her physical appearance. I mean it s not a normal picture where you get background and other things in the picture. It was a picture where she excluded everything except her physical appearance. I have lots of pictures in family albums and none are like that picture.

you cannot go around saying things like that paddle you sexist pig

I haven't had a deap sensitive diskussion into the pshy.. sighco....physi....  how this bint finks, but when I settle down with my EDL comrades on friday night I am shaw they will say she is finnish and is too scrawny anyway - moving on to more important issues like the mess at Stamford Bridge.

She is just trying to get a job in the Labour party.

I wondered what had happened to Comrade Karla.

where's this duncan bloke

is this the site that is being referred to

if it is I am very very familiar with it
and go and play in the juniours playground



I have no problems with Proudman choosing to react the way she did - that's her prerogative in private communication - but I was puzzled by her comment about being "half your age". Is she suggesting there's a free pass on comments of this kind if you're below a certain age or is she simply being ageist?

The Guardian's stance on sexist objectification of women doesn't seem to extend to the male gender. There are frequent references in this paper to an actor being a "hunk", which is something I thought was anathema even in the likes of TV Quick.

LinkedIn is a mammoth corporate dick swinging session anyway, filled with people skilled in things even they don't understand the meaning of.

The first time in 15 years i've agreed wiv artie....

There's a site for swinging your diick?

Do they pay you?

but this so called pro site is a site i know about and is a pile of sh!te   I never realised that it was this site they were battering on about.  I fort is was sum really really posh site for barristers and company directors

If you have got a suit and lowered bmw you are in!!!!

I'd have to borrow a suit

get a pic of another guy with a suit and you are in

The lawyer who published a “sexist” LinkedIn response from from a fellow barrister is an outspoken feminist who has complained about the “ritual humiliation” of male-dominated workplaces.

Charlotte Proudman, 27, who 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, believes men make workplaces a “repugnant world”.

Her public profile is larger than ever after she shamed Alexander Carter-Silk on Twitter for complimenting her on her “stunning picture” when she invited him to connect to her on LinkedIn, the professional networking site.

She has been accused of cooking up the row as a publicity stunt, but insisted yesterday that “if people don’t experience the repercussions for their actions, which are plainly wrong, then their behaviour will never change, and neither will sexist culture”.

Alexander Carter-Silk messaged human rights lawyer Charlotte Proudman on LinkedIn to say she would "win the prize for the best Linked in picture I have ever seen"Alexander Carter-Silk and Miss Proudman's LinkedIn photo, which he described as "stunning"

One former colleague of 57-year-old Mr Carter-Silk said: “He is not a sexist pig. He just doesn’t have a filter on his mouth.”

That appeared to be borne out by a comment Mr Carter-Silk made on his own daughter’s Facebook page next to a picture of her working out in a gym. He wrote: “Whilst I should not encourage lascivious comments about my daughter…Yeee gods she is hot!!”

Ellie Carter-Silk, a personal trainer, is the same age as Miss Proudman.

Ellie Carter-Silk was described by her father as "hot"

Miss Proudman, whose great-grandmother was a Suffragette, said Mr Carter-Silk, a partner at the law firm Brown Rudnick had “objectified” her, describing his message as “unacceptable and misogynistic”.

Her response has divided the legal community, with some accusing her of over-reacting and others praising her for “calling out” the married father-of-two.

Miss Proudman has written at least 35 articles in the past three years for national and online publications. She is also a member of the Fabian Society, the left-wing think-tank dedicated to advancing socialism.

• LinkedIn lawyers: Did this man's weak sexism really warrant perv-shaming?

Earlier this year she used the left-wing website Left Foot Forward to explain that she was a campaigner for feminism, not equality, because: “Men live and work in a brutal society, which is maintained through stratified social order based on ritual humiliation, gentleman’s clubs, fights, rites of passage, sexism, and banter.

“When women enter the male realm whether law, politics, or a construction site, they find themselves in a repugnant world in which their only means of survival is by undergoing a fundamental transformation leaving them with little opportunity to make any change.”

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).

She added: “Equality is harmful to women and most men, as they are required to replicate behaviours that are degrading and dehumanising.”

Bloody hell, her attitude reminds me of Millie Tant from Viz!

Very disturbing that she implies slicing up mens' genitals is the route to equalty rather than eradicating FGM.

whats the difference between equality and feminism then?
Maybe it would help if they wore a badge, a bit like the nazis did then others would know not to compliment them or something?
I really do not know, but I'm actually thinking I might have backed the wrong horse with socialism

Turns out it's not family law but human rights she does.
A feminist named 'proudman'?
The mail now finding evidence of her commenting on male photos, errrrg man the trenches boys think this un gunna get ugly....or beautiful....or em, oh bugger it me noggin is truly boggled now.

What we want to know is..... Is she a rug-muncher?

She's average looking but looks older than 27.

Most comments I've read online are mocking her and rightly so.

The problem as I see it with the objectification argument is that the elephant in the room is the make up bag.
Sure she has a point if she argues that she called men sexy or whatever in her spare time and he called her stunning on a 'work' website, but psychologists will tell you the basis of applying make up is about emphasising verility.
Babies arnt born with max factor kit bags, so the application of make up is in itself a contrivance.
She is free to apply make up as she wants, but if she believes it's inappropriate to receive such comments on a work site then why use the photo that subconsciously encourages it?

As somebody inferred, she has blown any chance of a proper job at a decent firm. Who would want to employ somebody that froths at the mouth over a casual remark (no matter if it was dubious). I still get slightly annoyed that the feminists troy out all these figures that there are more men in prominent jobs than women. Thats always gonna be the way. Biology ensures that women take time off to give birth, and many dont come back to work. If you were an employer and had two equal candidates, it would probably always tip the balance in favour of the man.

Just hunted all over the guardian site - the story has disappeared.  It must be there somewhere - the gruniad has a story to flog men mercilessly and appear to given it up!  Can anyone find it?

That's her best pic. In the other ones I've seen she's a 3 at best.

Id bet my mortgage on her not liking ****

C0ck

Miss Proudman is a disgusting specimen of the weaker sezx

I think her attempt at some free publicity has backfired somewhat.

But then again, perhaps she always had an appearance on "Celebrity" Big Brother in mind.

this made me laugh;

Optimist- The glass is half full.

Pessimist- The glass is half empty.

Feminist- The glass is being raped.

LinkedIn is supposed to be a professional network, not a social media playground. Problem is they let anyone on there, and you get a lot of tards who treat it like facebook and start stupid discussions or make inane comments. I've been on it for years and I still get inundated with requests to connect. It's not FB FFS !  If I don't know you or haven't heard of you, emailed you, messaged you, or traded comments with you on some forum, then p1ss off, you're about as welcome as a cold caller.

In this case tho, I think she over-reacted. The message/reply back to him was enough.
And no, she is not "stunning" either. Nowhere near.

Didnt she request him add her on Linkdin?

Her grandmother was a suffragette I believe, cant imagine what that household must have been like for her old man

perhaps left his sp0nk in a saucer and went and slept in the shed?

ofc not grow up ffs

Yes, she made the initial approach and was obviously fishing for some kind of reaction.

If women cannot be admired for their looks

then what possible use are women????????????????????????????

Women only exist for men to have sex with, so women can give birth, and our species survives

For that women must be sexually attractive to men, or men will not bother...that is why women exist

and to raise our young, otherwise we might as well all be men, no need for women

If the women is so concerned about being admired for her looks(do what Muslims do....cover yourself in a black bin liner)

27? I was gonna ask her if it was an old photo.

Stunning my arse, I would describe her as a "plain Jane" and that's me being very generous.

I think the nurse must have tipped ebul's bedpan over him this afternoon.

Ebul is halfway to the truth. According to many biologists, sexual reproduction is a strategy which emerged, according to the Red Queen hypothesis, as a defence against the evolutionary strategies of parasites.
Without parasites therefore, we wouldn't have male and female members of species and probably wouldn't have humans either.

my sexual reproduction strategy involves plenty of alcohol.

Clouseau

That hypothesis reminds me of the radioactive life of an isotope or the probability equilibrium that is always realised in logic between Hawks and doves.
I remember wondering for quite a while why the human genome would effectively sacrifice half its own structure during reproduction if it's end game is about survival at the cost of other things. The whole thing is fractural.

I recall listening to an interview between scientists recently that I was only half hearing, but they all seemed to agree on a seemingly preposterous phenomenon; that the collective of cells inside you that you'd reasonably believe to be 'you' is out numbered by the total number of cells you have no 'control' over and affectively are alien.
