What is wrong with these damn men!

I know exactly what a creep he is from a friend of my daughter who worked with him.

What is wrong with these damn men!

Grew up feeling "entitled" once they got positions of power.

Some of these men who rather unwittingly find themselves becoming TV "celebs" seem to be of the belief that all this type of stuff is "lads banter" and it makes them look worldly and funny to engage in this type of talk in front of women as well as men.

I expect in the days of fruit & veg markets and wholesalers being a male world this was all jolly good fun.

The world has moved on a bit since then.

Another man who has become a celebrity through over exposure and despite very obvious shortcomings.

Things once acceptable are no more as they are "called out".

Remember Trump's "just locker room banter" (I'm sure there are UK politicians who once thought it OK too!)

Idealistically, in the 1970's, I thought we were calling for an end to it, it's taken a long time for the world to move on, and I think it has, except for the times when Andrew Tate and his like rear their ugly heads.

Not surprised at all. He's always given me the heeby jeebies.

devoid of any talent whatso ever. Friends in the right places.

Just what I exclaimed at lunch-time but quite honestly, some of these men think with their genitals not their brains.

This doesn't surprise me.

Has the world moved on , though? Superficially it seems that way. I am 71 and lived, worked, went out and enjoyed myself to the full in 1970s and 1980s London. Travelled on the Tube sometimes late at night. I probably experienced every aspect of a society deemed far more sexist and misogynist than the current one.
I thought men would start to behave better but sometimes I wonder.
Upskirting What the hell is that all about. ??? I literally could not believe that men were doing this.
Levels of online abuse and levels of every type of violence of women seem either not to have changed or worsened.
Or is it just that we paymore attention to it. ??

Interesting that Rod Stewart has posted on his social media that he is glad Wallace got karma. He said Wallace bullied and humiliated Rod's wife and made sure it was cut from the programme.

All this is very true and I know nothing about this man but I dislike these cases coming up out of the past. I think people should speak up at the time and not let it drop.

The world has moved on in terms of women not accepting this type of behaviour as reasonable and normal AND speaking out about it.

Although I daresay there are many, many women who don't speak out for any number of reasons.

Awful of me I know, but I’ve always found him extremely creepy!!!

Do you not think years ago women in particular, were too scared to do this.

Back in the late 70’s/early 80’s I worked in London in a male dominated environment, whilst most men were fairly respectful, there was still a sexist attitude running through most of them, remarks were made that were either patronising or sexist, and tactile touches seemed quite acceptable.

I was quite feisty and not scared of losing my job, so I’d call out anything I thought was unacceptable but many many others in their 20’s like me were less confident and just let it go!

Easier said than done. I've said this before. It's not always that simple.

Sometimes women did speak up in the past and were not listened to. It’s much easier to call out unacceptable behaviour now, so I think things have improved.
Remember all the girly calendars in offices?
I think we still have a way to go however.

Kirsty Wark did. And he was spoken too

Cossy Me too! I was in articles in the mid seventies. At that time the female intake was only 3%. The only thing that sticks in my mind from that period was a fellow articled clerk, several years younger than me ( I was 24 or 25) who commented that my OH would not marry me because we were living together, so why would he? In fact we've been married for over 50 years. To be truthful I can't remember the date but I always remember the date on which we met and that's the one I go by.

I cannot understand why some of these women, Kirsty Wark for example, did not either call him out at the time or at least make a complaint. She wouldn't be scared of losing her position, surely?

They just said on the news that he has stepped down from presenting Masterchef.

I couldn't stand his gurning grin it put me right off Master Chef

Put me off too, then again so does the other one; I don't watch it.

I think she did make a complaint at the time.. but it just exemplifies how uneducated he was that he didn't realise that she is a formidable opponent.. good for her
