[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They haven’t experienced much sexism in the workplace, yet. [/quote]

Nor have I and I’m 52.  
Most women really aren’t as easily triggered as those who claim to speak for us are. [/quote]

This. I'm flattered when a male co-worker tells me my hair looks nice or my outfit is nice. Those who think that's negative in any way really do need to get a life.[/quote]

I find it inappropriate.[/quote]

OMG - I say the same thing to my male coworkers - even guys in elevators...you look sharp today, love that shirt, etc.

Thinking something as benign as that to be inappropriate is what is called "radical feminism" which is a joke. If that is the DNC base then the red wave will continue because that's nuts.[/quote]

I find it inappropriate to. There's no need to comment on anyone's physical appearance in the workplace.
And if people vote ored for Trump so they could feel flattered by their coworkers complimenting their outfits we e got bigger problems than I thought.[/quote]

Wow, just wow. Now I know what people mean when we as a nation were on the wrong track. No wonder Trump won. FWIW - I voted for Harris.

But seriously, paying a compliment to people on how they look...generic and benign complimentary comments...is f*ing NORMAL. Damn...I'm mad at you for making me use f*ing in one of my posts because I rarely do so.

Normal compliments...you look nice today, your hair looks nice, I love that color on you, you look sharp, etc.

Not Normal compliment....Wowzer, damn you look good today in those tight jeans.

I often tell the receptionist of my office building that she looks nice.

Signed Harris voter who is 50+ professional working female...but really seriously regretting that vote because of those who think that benign compliments are inappropriate. [/quote]

I’m a 50+ Harris voter who finds it extremely disheartening that people finally feel like they have a voice to ask for something [b]- please don’t focus on my looks in a business setting, I’d like to be addressed this way - is just outright dismissed[/b]. What’s the harm in trying to listen to and accommodate people with these very minor requests?

But, someone told me on DCUM that empathy was weaponized, that people were obsessed with it. Truly sad. Honestly that is how we got to this place since Trump is the least empathetic politician we’ve had in the history of this country. [/quote]

You don't get it. Nobody...not ever...has told me this. Now..if a coworker actually told me, a female, that my saying her hair looked nice today, was offensive or made her feel uncomfortable, then sure I wouldn't dismiss it and I would try hard not to give her any compliments. But personally I enjoy receiving compliments. It's human nature and normal!!

The DNC have all lost their f*ing common sense. Damn, you made me use f*ing again. [/quote]

Society’s chorus has been saying this, not individuals. Geez, my DH got the memo a decade ago. If a good guy skips up, it’s a lot different than if some horrible guy who sees women as sex objects does. It’s like men are telling on themselves. No, men who have not belittled women and feel threatened by their very existence in the workplace are not bothered by this simple courtesy.

Leave it to Trumpster to focus so much attention on people asking for a slight alteration in basic kindness. Resist change at your own peril. [/quote]

Your response is word salad, why am I not surprised. I am a FEMALE worker and it's normal to compliment anyone in the workplace - benign general compliments. My GenZ DD agrees 100%. [/quote]

As long as Trump-thumper daughter stays away from my sons I’m good with that FEMALE worker. (Shouldn’t be a problem because they hate Trump.) [/quote]
