State Your Unpopular Opinions

Not at work...it just doesn't belong there. It makes a work situation...awkward. Unless she likes you, but you take a risk.

 

Yes, thank you 3rd wave feminism for teaching us we don't have to accept being reduced to our physical attributes.

Sorry, but the woman in the example you posted was 100% right. It's LinkedIn, not Tinder.

 

My unpopular opinion is that telling a woman she's beautiful is not sexist, and that the lawyer, who may've gone over the top with is praising, did not deserve a public character assassination.

 

If This "Feminism" Crap Keeps Escalating At The Rate It Is.......I Predict In A Few Years Time

Men Will Will Be Too Afraid To Approach A Woman In Any Way Or Form.....



Cheers Glen.

 

It is sexist in a professional setting though.
She didnt join LinkedIn to get attention for her looks.

 

We’re already there.

People are using Tinder and Grinder more than ever to try and get dates, rather than trying in-person meet and greets. I’ve seen it in bars where guys who’ll have their faces buried in their phones on a dating app, and the girls will be by themselves after spending 2 hours dressing to the nines, and no guy will approach her.

I got a girl’s number last week in a parking lot when I complimented her car, which was a newer and sexier version of mine. And as we talked, she said “guys never approach me anymore”

That, and it’s now mortal sin to comment on a woman’s looks in the professional world lol

 

Why would you feel the need to compliment a woman on her looks in a professional setting ? Just keep your mouth shut if you don't have anything interesting or intelligent to say.

 

Exactly, men who typically do this don’t really see women as their intellectual equals.

That said, is it worth a guy losing his job? If that is the only infraction, I would say no.

 

Maybe not. Just basic sensitivety classes though...

Though typically dudes who are saying these things are pretty hopeless and are often creeps who wonder why they have a tough time getting laid. I don't feel bad for them. This ain't the 60's, they should grow up.

Eh, they'll just keep blaming women for not continuing to tolerate their bullshit. Whatever happens to them happens.

I'm ornery today. My apologies.

 

Like these same guys are walking around saying to co-workers, "Hey Shannon, I really admire your intelligence and good work ethic."

 

Lol No worries, I lean in agreement.

 

I wish we could do a social experiment where we got to treat men the way they treat us for one day. Just one day.

And any man who has an opinion on this, oh, honey, no one cares what you think. Just take your muscles over there and stand in the corner until I need a jar opened.

 

I touched this girl's arm and pulled away sharply. "Ouch!", I exclaimed.

"What?" She said.

"Your hot", I replied...

Actually I've never tried this.

 

As long as no one said that's the only reason I got the job, I definitely would not be offended by a compliment about my looks in that environment. I don't think most men would.

 

i suppose if she's a professional stripper it may be appropriate.

 

Ya got me on that one!

 

I can't see any reason to believe that women have NOT gone through physical and mental anguish for centuries perpetrated by men. Didn't even get the vote until 1920, couldn't buy property without a mans signature,etc. So since they weren't considered the equal of men, it becomes understandable why they would be treated as less, including the reporting of harassment. We are now reading reports/explanations of why women are hesitant in many, many cases, to report such behavior for various reasons. Sexual assault/harassment is just natural for some men-------they're just women after all.

 

I hope to be as insightful as Scratcho someday.

 

Well, thanks for the compliment, but believe me, I'm certainly a dummy in many things! I watched the Anita Hill clusterfuck and the same old white guys are going to determine the outcome??
