I think it's right that women highlight this sort of thing in order to broaden people's minds. However, I also think she was dead wrong to reveal his identity.
Burnsey had her on radio humberside, oops!! Maybe I shouldn't of said that, I think she thinks she's a bit of a flag bearer for the sexism in the work place lot, she freely admired the only reason she put it on social media was to highlight that. sounded a proper mrs overly tight knickers.. And had a really annoying voice.... Bitch!!!
LinkedIn sexism row: Charlotte Proudman says lawyer used site 'like Tinder' please log in to view this image A row has erupted over a "sexist" LinkedIn message received by a 27-year-old barrister. It's after Charlotte Proudman sent an invitation to a senior partner at a law firm who responded by commenting on her "stunning" profile picture. Alexander Carter-Silk, 57, a partner at Brown Rudnick, also said she "won the prize" for the best photo. Proudman said she was not on the professional networking site "to be objectified". She told the BBC's 5 live that she had received messages "commenting on her appearance" before. Morerelated stories How offended are we over sexism? Offended: Natasha Daniels on sexism Why we act like animals on Tinder She said it amounted to "using LinkedIn essentially as Tinder instead" of highlighting women's professional skills. "My partner gets messages asking if he wants a job at hedge funds, I get propositions from men asking me out." She is calling for a public apology: "I want people to know that's not acceptable." In the message, Mr Carter-Silk wrote: "Charlotte, delighted to connect, I appreciate that this is probably horrendously politically incorrect but that is a stunning picture!!! "You definitely win the prize for the best LinkedIn picture I have ever seen. My partner gets messages asking if he wants a job at hedge funds, I get propositions from men asking me out Charlotte Proudman "Always interest [sic] to understand [sic] people's skills and how we might work together." Proudman, who is reportedly the same age as Mr Carter-Silk's daughter, replied: "Unacceptable and misogynistic behaviour. "Think twice before sending another woman [half your age] such a sexist message." She has contacted Brown Rudnick to complain and will also be referring the issue to the Solicitors Regulation Authority, as well as reporting to police subsequent Twitter trolling. Mr Carter-Silk lives in Cambridgeshire with his wife, Jacqueline, 60, and represented Elle Macpherson in the phone-hacking trial. On City law message board RollOnFriday he posted: "Most people post pretty unprofessional pictures on LinkedIn, my comment was aimed at the professional quality of the presentation on LinkedIn which was unfortunately misinterpreted." A spokesman for law firm Brown Rudnick said: "We are aware of the comments made by a member of the firm on a private social media account. If a man wanted to approach a woman because he thinks her attractive... it doesn't make him sexist. It is just perfectly natural behaviour Matthew Scott "We have apologised for the offence caused and have no further comment to make." Matthew Scott, a barrister and blogger,told the BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme: "I think we have to look how this developed... Charlotte sent him a message, asking him to connect so the initial contact was made by Charlotte. "He later complimented her stunning picture, so I do think his crime is provoked from Charlotte." He added: "If a man wanted to approach a woman because he thinks her attractive at work or through LinkedIn, it doesn't make him sexist; it is just perfectly natural behaviour."
Stupid thing for him to say but an even more ridiculous reaction from her. She's obviously on self-promoting ego trip and not concerned with feminism in the slightest.
Creepy message on a professionals website. He should have known better. However, it was private, and I think she should have kept her distaste with it private too. Lack of class on both sides, I feel.
Bonny looking lass but i think she has gone a bit overboard on this. If a women at work is looking nice I would compliment her. I would not expect to have the compliment shown all over twatter or feacesbook
Absolutely cringeworthy way to conduct herself, especially when you consider the profession she is in. Presumably she'll have no qualms when it comes to defending *****s, rapists and murderers for money?
So, are you suggesting that people are not entitled to be defended in court no matter what they have been accused of? Also, are you suggesting that she should work for free? Do you work for free??
Aye. Professional birds like that deserve some respect. Clearly the bloke was sniffing around to try and get a bit .
Yep. Golden rule never compliment the fit one's they know it. Always compliment the fatties and fugglies, that way cups of tea on tap, letters done before the other blokes. If he'd said I hope you've recovered from that bout of illness you look so pale on your picture. She'd have had a makeover and got rid of the dodgy haricut and be sending him pictures for his approval. The man's an amateur and deserves to be sacked.
No, no and no. Nothing criminal has taken place, has it? So she presumably is approaching this from a moral standpoint, isn't she? I put it to you that in her chosen profession she will be likely to fraternise quite happily, (as long as she is being paid to do so), with some quite undesirable individuals, and even at times quite possibly be happy to be paid to rip into the possible victims of said undesirables. I do believe that many members of the legal profession are on thin ice when it comes to morals. Perhaps if he'd slipped her a few quid in with the complement it might have all passed unannounced.
