    The problem is men are scared to even try and chat a women up due to the feminist brigade complaining at the slightest hint of sexism. Be careful what you wish for.

      Funnily enough one of the more senior managers has come into my office. While she's perfectly feminine in behaviour and look, I can't imagine anyone surviving being sexist towards her. Perhaps it's because she's German.
      Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

        I don't understand why some men act in a demeaning manner towards women and what they hope to achieve.
        And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

          Alas that is all to true, many a time I have been read the riot act just for holding the door open for a women, yes I use it as an excuse to look at their arse but mainly its because it was how I was brought up.

              What? Perhaps your wife really is v pretty and it played a part in her working life, but I genuinely have no idea how being pretty or desirable would make my working life easier.
              Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

                  Because most men are stupid is the obvious answer

                  "She smiled at me, I might have a chance" is going through their head. Seriously.

                    Yeah, Ok. Perhaps if I was permy it might be different, i.e. I might work for men who could get me places.

                      If he keeps talking to your breasts, next time you're in a meeting, tell him "I'm wearing a bra, please stop trying to find my nipples"
