This is why.

To be temptresses?? Are you being sarcastic?
We have no American culture and Western ethics anymore.
Well sure it is to enhance their looks (thus polished), but it sure as heck is NOT an invitation for sexual harassment. Some women need makeup.
“Wornen wear makeup to get compliments & fawned over by men. When they get the compliments they scream ‘sexual harassment’.”
Your statement similar to the nuts in Islam who rationalize the abuse of women based on what they wear.
Wearing makeup can have multiple effects based on how it is used, just like wearing clothes has different affects based on the clothes.
The idea that it is ordinary or common for women to try to get compliments from men and then use this to complain of sexual harassment is ludicrous.
Most people try to present themselves in public in a manner they think makes them attractive, or at least more presentable and less distracting. This means things like hygiene and wearing clean, neat clothes.
Single women and men also want to be attractive to potential partners. Just because they also happen to look attractive to others who they would never be interested in dating is no justification for being harassed or abused.
And of course there are extremes in clothing and makeup that young women need guidance on. The workplace is not appropriate for anyone trying to be sexually provocative. But to categorize all makeup this way is nonsense.
I will admit though that there are a lot of hypersensitive women these days. And I think it is because our society has become so sex obsessed. This makes it very difficult for men to know how to approach women they are interested in without the risk of offending someone, let alone the fear of being rejected, which all of us have.
Poor taste. No, I’m not talking about the food.
Is her name Eileen ?
Peg. Her name is Peg...
And why in the world wouldn’t this girl at least tell her mother if not HR?
Men don’t understand women. I’m one of those guys.
What is the point of wearing a bikini top that doesn’t really cover the bosom? Might as well be topless, which I think is no big deal. But a skimpy top that doesn’t fully cover the bosom is a tease to elicit a sexual response, which could lead to an unwelcome come on by a harasser. Same goes for too much makeup. Some women should think about modesty when working in the workplace. To be fair, some guys need to think about their appearance also, but guys aren’t being sexually harassed as much as women. BTW, she’s outstanding.
Well...there goes an equitable price on a Rooty Tooty Short Stack!!
I’m getting to where I don’t believe anything.
This is why.
I was thinking the same thing. I would have expected at least 60 complaints; otherwise, it would be a statistical anomaly.
...” In these volatile times, men had better think twice about being alone with any woman.”
We have a close friend who works at a premier law firm downtown.
He told us that one of his fellow lawyers will not even get on an elevator car if there is only one woman in it.
Sad state of affairs...
I LIKE makeup! This is like blaming the “gun”.
Nothing wrong with complimenting a woman’s appearance. A “supervisor” should be a little more careful.
Women have to stick up for THEMSELVES! If they don’t appreciate the “compliments” they should say so, politely.
Define “complement”.
“Barbara, you look sharp this morning.”
“Barbara, I really like that push-up bra you are wearing. It really makes your tits look bigger.”
One is appropriate, the other is not. You choose.
THAT'S not going to help. The harassment usually happens BEFORE guys have a daughter - by then, it's too late. They've already done the damage.
Some men could use make up too...so what’s your point except you seem to think make up is just for polishing purposes. I disagree, as an attractive woman that enjoys wearing make up to enhance my beauty....but this is really getting off the subject, seriously.
Part of the Falling Away that seems to be taking place. Women are now our equals in most workplaces, and yet most of us don’t show them the respect and kindness that most of us used to.
