57 Things I Need You to Stop Doing to the Women You Work With
Esquire ^ | October 16, 2017 | Kaitlin Menza

Posted on 10/18/2017 3:45:40 AM PDT by C19fan

A female friend of mine went on a foreign business trip early in her career with two colleagues who were both male, married, and senior to her at the company. After dinner with a client, hours after she had retired to her room, around 1 a.m., one of her coworkers knocked on her hotel door and asked if she would come out for a drink. She declined. After another hour, around 2 a.m., the other coworker knocked on her door. When she opened it a crack, he tried to push his way into her room. She fought him off. All three still work together.

Actually, some of what she posted is absolutely true. Try being a young, attractive women navigating the streets of Manhattan alone. It takes skill and intelligence not to run afoul of all the freaks out there. And rarely is that freak a woman.

Now, of course, Hillary, hasn't driven a car into an isolated parking garage in her life. She's a cosseted, privileged old bag who has no right to complain about anything in her life.

I agree with that generally but the broad brush “don’t” list of this article is at times crazy.

Don’t comment on a woman’s appearance.

This one is insane, Yes the example they offer is a bit creepy.. but honestly if you see someone dressed down routinely and they dress up giving them a compliment is NOT sexual harassment, and if a woman is so thin skinned that a woman paying her a compliment is a violation of decorum, well then stay away from them anyway.

Now I am not saying compliment them non stop, or daily or creepily.. but I wear jeans and a T shirt most days, and on days I have to wear a suit for one reason or another I get commented on, both complimented and ribbed by my coworkers. This isn’t defacto sexual harassment.... and despite what our feminist lesbian man hating professors drilled down your throat in college, not every guy who makes a compliment is trying to get in your pants. In fact, I personally will make an effort to compliment women I don’t have any interest in in the least, if I can.

Yes, the attractive younger woman in the workplace is often getting a lot of unwanted attention, but those less blessed genetically in the looks department, or passed their prime, deserve a little acknowledgment and aren’t likely to run off to HR crying over an innocuous comment.

Basically don’t be a “creep” is a fine rule, but this list at some points is just stupid.

Can’t say I’ve ever told, let alone ordered a woman to smile... ever... let alone in the work place... but I have indeed told quite a few, that they have very beautiful smiles.

Frankly I don’t want women smiling at me, other than of course that just general social smile you make when you make contact.. whether man or woman... acknowledging you see each other.. I’m not personally crazy about that, but it is social norm so I do it as well. If she TRULY wants to smile at me... the forced/fake smile I don’t care for at all... But the honest true smile, that is an honest expression of Joy, I’ll take that look all day long if they want to share it.

By the way, since you don’t like American women and are probably drawn to Russian, Thai and “Filipinas” as male freepers like to call them, I hear Marilu Danley’s looking for a new boyfriend.

Was it hard being beautiful at one time?

I like my LBFM’s a little younger than her. In their 20’s and 30’s.

It’s a bizarre fact of life but some men do demand that women smile. It’s often by strangers which is even more bizarre. I don’t know why some men do this - it creates no ardor in the female breast, lol!

You should write a book. Titled "Beautiful: The Burden of Being Born Attractive, Sexy and Having My Way With Men( but on my terms)."

Why don’t you ask the Vietnamese women who you refer to as “f**king machines” to write it?

I had a father who taught me manners and how to behave around a lady. So this has never been a problem for me.

You pay them to leave when they are done. Luckily I have not desired those services since the 1980's. I was young and far away from the feminist hell of the USA at the time.

I live by the rule “ You NEVER, ever, fish the Company pond.”

You would be amazed at how often women make advances, seeing it as a game

This doesn't apply to you probably because I think you are slim and still attractive but I have spent a lot of time overseas.

This applies to Europe and Asia - On many occasion asked girls/women( not hookers) in foreign countries what they think of American Women. Well in general the euros think Americans smell like soap, but universality all the women respond the American woman are big, fat and mean. They love American men because they "know how to act".
