Be hard work. Reminds me of that Blackadder episode:
Blackadder : Caroline of Brunswick is the only available princess in Europe.
Baldrick : And what's wrong with her?
Blackadder : Get more coffee! It's horrid! Change it! Take me roughly from behind! No, not like that, like this! Trousers off! Tackle out! Walk the dog! Where's my presents!
Baldrick : All right! Which one do you want me to do first?
Blackadder : No, no that's what Caroline's like. She is famous for having the worst personality in Germany, and as you can imagine, that's up against some pretty stiff competition.VIN: A175A328***

She's just getting herself some publicity, it's pathetic.
If he'd said she had a nice pair or a nice then she may have a point but he said she was stunning, surely that's a compliment?
Maybe there is some more to the story, if not then hopefully most people will see it for what it is.IID PRO

I bet the legal world is riddled with sexism, but that wasn't it! Her picture was clearly taken by a professional photographer, not a selfie on a mobile phone. Presumably she went to the trouble in order to grab attention, and she did. Then she decided to complain about a compliment that her picture was stunning! She's a complete (I think you'll find both sexes have those). Went for a job as a human cannonball. Not the right calibre.

Is she also wearing make up to attract the opposite sex?MY15 D4 SDV6 HSE Corris Grey - Gone

what a load of cr@p! And I totally agree with radders89 remarks,
I think a D3 is a stunning car, but I certainly don't want to bed it (although I have seen posts here of people thinking/acting differently...)RLD Sump Guard

Her speciality is prevention of female genitalia mutilation. Bit of a U-turn there as she has him by the gonads.Never take life too seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

I hope when she's out on the town she gives a sign that you may say how she looks, maybe a badge for the men (or women) to read which says "compliments can be made"
Without it you risk been sued for sexual harassment

My Missus worked in a male-dominated environment for decades and knows what real sexist misogyny is. She called me from the States one night and said a senior colleague was banging on her hotel room door and trying to get in. I told her to call the police, but she chose to sit it out and to avoid him in future. She feared her career would suffer if she complained and the last thing she wanted was me fighting her corner.
As for banter and blokes showing interest or making passes: she said, "that's life"! I bet this barrister wouldn't make a fuss if she was as interested as the person showing interest! People who meet their partners through work don't complain Went for a job as a human cannonball. Not the right calibre.
