Silly old sod. But what a horrible thing to retweet - humourless woman!
I saw this today, i get why she could construe it as a guy giving her a bit of a 'wink' through Linkedin, but its nothing more than a genuine compliment, given the usual awful pictures people have on Linkedin Profiles, he was telling her she had a nice picture, but she decided to become professionally arsey about it, with the line about eroticisation, i despair.
Guy was probably being genuine, they are both lawyers so should know better.

A female client told me that they thought that I was looking very well and had lost a few times since they last saw me.
Instead of thanking her and responding with a compliment of my own should i have immediately terminated my contact with this obvious sexual predator?
Never ceases to amaze me how stupid some, apparently very academically bright, people are.

She's right.
The symptoms of our misogynistic society may be subtle, but they are there and this is one of them. LinkedIn isn't a dating site, or even social media. She's there as a professional and trying to convey the image of such.
If you signed up to LinkedIn, and received a message from a woman saying you 'looked stunning' you'd dismiss her as being less than professional.
Forrest for the trees.

Clearly exactly the same as a random adding you on LinkedIn and messaging you about how nice you look.Instead of thanking her and responding with a compliment of my own should i have immediately terminated my contact with this obvious sexual predator?

I'm don't think it warranted the response it got, but it's a bloody daft thing to do.

And regardless, less than professional warrants neither her diatribe or it being posted publicly.

I might well dismiss it as less than professional, or desperate or tedious. But what I wouldn't do is tweet it, with accompanying aggressive comments and invite ridicule upon someone who at best is being a little presumptious or at worst is guilty of some old fashion sexism.

Can be confusing, since lets face it there are plenty of photo's on LI that are obviously provocative, not professional.
Just to add, as I don't have time to trawl the twitter feed - how many have picked up on her rampant ageism?
The way she has worded her reply seems to me to suggest that a reply such as his would have been more acceptable if it were sent to a woman closer to his age.
I find her to be confused as to her ‘isms’.

There can be sexism towards men, but it's not like we face it every day and our gender suffers because of it. We're literally in charge of absolutely everything. And it stems from the fact that subtle forms of oppression, like this, keep women (and everybody else) down.
White Male Privilege, fellas. I know I'm guilty of it, as it's likely baked into my thinking nowadays, but that doesn't mean we can't at least attempt to identify it - to ourselves - and work against it.

This is actually a valid point to an extent, despite the slating you will probably get for it.The symptoms of our misogynistic society may be subtle, but they are there and this is one of them.

It loses its credibility, though, if the woman in question has purposefully made herself look as nice as possible for the picture.
It is hypocritical, I think, to make yourself up, put earrings in, have your hair done - all in an attempt to make yourself as aesthetically pleasing as possible if you then brutally attacks someone who mentions it. I'm sure her reply would be that she should be perfectly entitled to make herself look nice blah blah blah, but just fk off.
