        FFS bitches!

        I'm dating an ex-90s swimwear model

        When I first met her in the pub the locals were quite
        Aggressive towards me (her pub friends).

        Once I stepped to these boys. Face to face
        , took them to the juke box and showed them who's boss they backed off.

          not sure if that is an euphemism?

If it's really up to each individual to decide, then what chance has a guy got. On a broader subject it's the same issue generally these days with everyone seeming to have a right to be offended by whatever they want, AND expecting society to do something about it. We need to get back to the place where you can be offended by what you want, but nobody necessarily has to give a flying duck about it. Stupidity is winning and it needs to stop.
            Yep I triggered some princess on twitter the other day for spending months moaning about equality only to make a blatant ageism related comment about something that didn't suit her outlook. Im starting to think that there might be a whole generation of women with broken user interfaces when it comes to reality.

              I think the overly PC thing may have over reached and people are not taking it seriously any more. There was a sketch on 300 years of French & Saunders where they were being extras on the set of Poldark and getting overexcited about the main actor with his top off.

              When the main young actress said to them that "if you were men salivating over a young actress like this you'd be escorted off set!" to which one of them replied:

              "Look darling I'm being attacked by a feminist!"

              When French and Saunders are lampooning feminism ...

                Looks like the penny is dropping

                Just two months since the Harvey Weinstein accusations emerged, women here are already concerned that this revolution will indeed eat its own.

                This is a surprisingly controversial topic, because even raising a potential backlash against the #MeToo movement smacks of appeasement, of wanting to let predators off the hook.

                There are women who say it's been so unfair for so long that if a few innocent men get wrongfully accused, that's a price they are happy to pay. I'm a lot more comfortable with the first half of that sentiment than the second.
                Already men are nervously asking what's acceptable and what's not. Is all flirting now banned? Is a pat on the back ok, but a pat on the bottom always a sackable offence? This confusion could fast turn to anger.

                The risk is that men, feeling under siege, kick back and say "enough is enough, this is not fair". Then we risk losing the support and sympathy of our male colleagues. We do indeed become seen as witch hunters, or worse, as witches.
                A backlash now against women would be the worst thing that can happen, it would shove this topic back under the carpet for years. So let's tread carefully, act soberly and use this moment, with the willing support of our male colleagues, to make our workplaces safer and happier.
                I think that ship may have already sailed (if this forum is anything to go by)...

                    There was an interesting video interview with Pamela Anderson yesterday available via BBC News, in which she defended (quite well) her comments that women who agree to 'interviews' or 'meetings' with men alone in hotel rooms either knew what they were getting in to, or should have taken steps to avoid those situations.

                    Can't find a link to it, but I was surprised at how well she put her point across. The interviewer tried to suggest she was victim-blaming but she refuted that, and simply said that women need to take care and not put themselves in situations where this sort of thing can happen. Apparently she had been offered many "private auditions" but turned them down or made sure she had someone with her. Made good sense to me.
