Can't believe you lot; mansplaining and whitesplaining it away as if was just some misjudged compliment.
not all - I think that most on here have acknowledged that the comment should not have been made, however it was. The correct thing to do at that point would be to say "sorry" - which he did. The classy thing to do following on from that point would have been to say "apology accepted" and go on with your life rather than try and ruin someone's career and life. This harridan encapsulates why there are so many difficulties between certain types of people "...older people should, if anything, be even more respectful of people coming into the work-place..." but no slack is cut in the opposite way? Horrible, horrible woman Just say sorry and move on with your life? Sorry but the apology didn't meet her exacting criteria so she has to go on TV and keep it up.

All very well to say from your ivory tower of white male privilege. Any unwanted flirtatious comments should justly result in the end of your career and a media circus.

This is either dripping with irony, or stupidity. I'm really not sure which.Just say sorry and move on with your life? Sorry but the apology didn't meet her exacting criteria so she has to go on TV and keep it up.

I'm amazed that anyone needs a parrot for that. Well done!I thought I'd have a quick look on mumsnet to see what the sisterhood had to say on this matter. I think it's fair to say that the thrust of their threads are diametrically opposed to this one.
I'm actually a little surprised - despite their reputation on PH, a lot of the mumsnetters come across as actually pretty sorted and sane (and probably quite hot ... if only they would post photos ...) but I think the sane ones must still be on holiday.

The media refer to her as a 'high flying barrister' but it doesn't stack up; Keele for a start, bar school 2010, mphil 2011, presumabaly that means she didn't get a pupillage, so when did she do that year, 2012? And now she's doing a Phd? So she was a practising barrister 2013 and 2014 at most? RiiightMedia or academe next, then ECHR judge? No experience necessary.

Not when it comes to topics about men. Frightening place.I thought I'd have a quick look on mumsnet to see what the sisterhood had to say on this matter. I think it's fair to say that the thrust of their threads are diametrically opposed to this one.

This woman seems to like media attention, if not male attention.
Given the complete lack of Magic Circle, White Shoe or Big Bazza set representation in the 2014 Legal Awards, I'd say that these awards are somewhat hokey:

That said, a deserved win for Antarctic Fiscal Law in the category "Best in Fiscal Law - Antarctica"...
...although I am amused by seeing the grid reference used in place of a post code - it appears they actually have a law office (or at least a brass plate) in Antarctica!

They're not scared of PH....But PH is scared of them.
Mumsnet, at times, appears to be run by some interesting individuals with very strong views and opinions. They have a membership which appears to me to be very similar to PH's in terms of most are level headed with a slight learning towards their natural bias, but there are some utter fruit loops about.
Due to the unique relationship that some at the top of Mumsnet have with the wider Media they are seen as a go to renta gob for women/child issues.
They do not seem to have much trouble from letting other forum owners and admins know if they (mumsnet) are unhappy with anything on another site that might potentially spill (or have spilt) on to their site or cast it in a less than glowing light. Nor do they appear to have any issue in reminding others of their unique and unfiltered access to the mainstream Media.
Please note though that this might be totally off whack, it's just the impression i have gained from issues between this site and that one over the years and third or fourth hand comments from others, including some Mumsnetters.

so, long story short - meeja we and all round ?run a mile. Anyone got a link to her BF to warn him? Love to hear what her BF thinks.
