Joyless feminism
Discussion
so she is a legal expert... aka legal assistant... then she is complemented and called tidy which is a normal phrase in most of the country.
She then went full-on nuclear for the sake of being complemented... this is why its not safe for men to complement anyone or open doors for women as they think the person is a sexist creep.

king rude mate, there's plenty of examples of over-the-top joyless intersex feminazi nonsense without tortuously justifying inappropriate boorish behavior.
'soz wrong seat', yeah right...
If he had physically harassed her, used lewd language, or kept asking after being told no I can understand such a reaction.

But are we really at the stage where you cannot even pursue the opposite sex now?.

I wouldn't call that pursuit. If he'd grown a spine and tried to speak to her, I doubt we'd be talking about it. But are we really at the stage where you cannot even pursue the opposite sex now?.
I don't think it's remotely acceptable to send messages like that to a stranger you're sharing a plane with. I don't see how it's newsworthy either, though more and more of life's trivial events seem to make their way to the front page nowadays.

How many loving relationships have started over the years from guys just approaching girls in public places?, rather than in the more conventional dating scene.

As I said before harassment is not acceptable. We are in danger however with conflating "harassment" with "making contact with opposite sex to see if available". It has been a long time since I was on the dating scene and if I still was I wouldn't be sending messages on a plane, but it is worth reiterating that the language was not lewd just complimentary. I don't know the exact setup of the messaging system but maybe he hoped to get some flirty chat going and then go over to talk to her face to face.

I feel the same about all the fuss over the Boris "thigh squeeze"How many loving relationships have started over the years from guys just approaching girls in public places?, rather than in the more conventional dating scene.
You're having a boozy lunch with some lady. Plenty of eye contact and some flirting. To test the waters a chap gives a little squeeze under the table.
Girl say's "no" and life moves on. All is forgotten.
It can't of upset her that much or she wouldn't have kept quiet about it for 20 bloody years. But no, she waits until he's hit the pinnacle of a career to attempt to get him labeled as a sex pest.
I don't consider myself to have ever been a pest but many years ago when available I certainly did "try it on" on occasion. Got knows what'll come out when I'm one day elected to rule the world.
I've know idea how a young chap gets a shag these days. But then I've never been good at reading female "messages" according to the wife.

Makes 2 of us (at least!!), she'd need to be practically sitting on my face for me to start thinking "...hmmm, maybe she's interested..."JagLover said:

We're really not. I wouldn't count what had happened as 'harassment' but neither would it appear to be an attempt at genuine contact. It was just uninvited, boorish, virtual wolf-whistling.JagLover said:

I really dont care if a few sensitive lads on a car forum think that men should be scared of approaching women in case the woman takes offence.

Tea lady with a degree from Cambridge, that would be likely
I can see how she would probably rather not have some creep send her unsolicited messages for all to see, and then spend the rest of a flight wondering who the fk this dingus was and why he picked her out.
Would you be the kind of guy who would do this, and if not, why not?
The harassment from seat 61D, while unacceptable, isn't the point; the point is her ludicrous reaction of (1) reverting instantly to "I work for a legal firm" rather than a simple "no thanks" or similar (2) posting it on twitter for all to see rather than a more discrete complaints channel to Virgin (3) using the #metoo hashtag (4) suggesting Virgin add a reporting button rather than just, y'know, closing the chat app. As others have said what would she have done if seat 61D guy had said the same to her in person.I can see how she would probably rather not have some creep send her unsolicited messages for all to see, and then spend the rest of a flight wondering who the f

If you don't want to get called out for acting like a drunken dick, don't act like a drunken dick - especially when you're drunk and a dick. Passenger Jessica Van Meir said:
"After the flight attendants spoke with the guys, I walked through the aisle and took a picture of them. Afterwards, a young guy came up to me and said he heard about the chat between me and the guys and wanted to apologise on their behalf.
"They were on a rugby trip and he was one of the leaders. He said the guys had been drinking and he'd talk to them, was sorry and hoped we could leave it at that.
"What matters to me is not going after these guys, but making sure they understand why it was harmful."
