Yes it was inappropriate to make comments on linkedin but not inappropraite on facebook. I think people understand that distinction.

Reading through the thread, it's very clear that some people don't understand that at all

if she feels so strongly about it then why post a profile picture (where she's taken the time to get her hair and makeup nice etc..) in the first place... it isn't facebook after all and her appearance has nothing to do with business connections etc..

Never worn a suit for an interview?

And this matters because?
 
If I'd worked hard at school to get into Cambridge and then worked hard at Cambridge to get into bar school and then worked hard at bar school to get a pupilage and then worked hard during my pupilage to become a barrister, I would be more than a little miffed if the people I was supposed to look up to made comments like he made on a site for professionals.

Whether you believe the comments was sexist or not, she had the right to make it public.
 
Why are so many people saying the guy was "coming on" to her?

Can an (older, married) guy not give any other woman a compliment? Do we all assume he was looking to have an affair with her because he paid her a compliment?
 
linkedIn is far from being a professional site. I consider it a total joke full of spam, beggers and firms out to con you like them emails you get from the congo.

linked is just another social media site where you should expect junk and garbage like you get on the rest of other social media sites. And there is nothing wrong with people using linkedIn as a pick up joint, I have picked up a few woman from there myself....

Companies lie about the job roles on there so no harm treating the site for what it is.... A complete ****hole.....
 
social media; societies collective loss of dignity and grace..

Further proof that 'social media' in all of its guises is an efficient reflection of the rot that has already consumed most people.
This chap comes over as a leering when he might know better. She demonstrated little but venom and calculated bile. Neither of them are flattered by any of this.

I'd put money on her whoring this incident for all its worth however.

yup

and why? Well to make a good impression, to appear well presented... because appearances do count and do influence people

if her appearance is nothing to do with business connections etc... then a photo where she has taken the time to do her hair, apply makeup, ensure it is a nice looking photo etc.. is somewhat redundant

That's not on a professional site such as linkedIn though. It also depends on the relationship she has with people on Facebook. I would accept certain comments from friends I wouldn't accept from strangers.

I agree to an extent, but to go bat **** crazy about a bit of a buffoon like comment is completely beyond sensible/logical.

I'm sure we all have been told we look great/hot at work or in public at some point. Heck i tell my female colleagues "that's a great top but very distracting". Of course I know them, but technically I shouldn't say things like that.

There's a balance, if they felt my comment was unacceptable they'd tell me about it in private.
