Politician quits after describing woman as attractive! Pretty soon we wont even be allowed to look at women.

Double-standard. The girls at my work google Twilight and gush over topless pictures of the guys in that movie. No one would have a chance in hell getting them in trouble over what they're doing.

Yeah I just LOVE how, in my workplace, the "girls" talk about "mens buns" and huge muscled sports stars. So empowering. I'd love to talk about some hot ladies, but I'm not alpha enough, I need my job.

Article doesn't list where the pressure came from to encourage him to resign. He told a clerk he found some woman attractive. Did they have a beef with it? Who made the complaint?

I'm not dismissing it as it's probably brought on by some N.O.W. equivalent, but it would be nice if it gave some details.

Edit: Turns out the girl was jail-bait. He quit as a pre-emptive measure. http://news.scotsman.com/politics/MSP-quits-over-schoolgirl-leer.6367670.jp

This is ridiculous. I always want to smack people who get upset over this in the face. Not only is bad for men, it trivializes actual sexual harassment, because when people freak out about stuff like this then when you raise a legit complaint it is automatically assumed you're overreacting to something like this. Ugh. Seriously, this guy's remark was perhaps ill-timed, but perfectly respectful. What is this world coming to.

If you mention how nice she looks, it's sexual harassment. If you keep quiet, it's male indifference.

"dusky" - i think that might be more to do with it.

Ah ha! http://news.scotsman.com/politics/MSP-quits-over-schoolgirl-leer.6367670.jp

The girl was jail-bait. He quit before the press could start calling him a kiddie-diddler. (They'll still call him a pedophile)

No swearing, no disparaging comments about her or about women in general, yet this remark caused such a stink that the man was driven to apologize and to resign!

APOLOGIZE

and

RESIGN.

Now I want the Talibans to win this fucking war and take over the West.

I'll keep looking at 'em, smacking their asses, and fuckin' 'em. Dumb ass fucking feminists.

Inappropriate and unprofessional.
