Women SHOULD use their looks to get ahead: That’s the incendiary view of an academic who argues the MeToo brigade are robbing women of a vital weapon – their ‘erotic capital’

good for her for admitting it and being self-actualized and a strong independent woman. As long as she doesn't cry sexual harassment if anyone takes her sexual flirting "in a nonprofessional context".

Oh they still do- they dress to get noticed so they can claim victim hood.

If women can use their looks to their advantage, then when their looks start to fade, their looks should be held against them.

Sorry Susan, I'm going to have to pass you up for this promotion and give it to Cindy instead. She hasn't gained 30 pounds and is a lot cuter in a tight blouse.

With all the #metoo crap men should start pushing it as sexual harassment and start using the court more. Let the system kill itself.

so why shouldn’t women exploit this?

Just don't complain "people don't take me seriously" if you were hired on the basis of your hot hot body rather than on your mediocre achievements. Oh, and also? If you're gonna bring your sexy little ass into the office, don't get too shocked and offended if it attracts unwanted looks. You aren't exactly working there for your giant brain as you are well aware, Ms. Hottie Dimbulb. Maybe sign a special sexual harassment waiver form because you can't dangle out the bait in a kind of unending tease-and-denial game without a big fish eventually coming along who thinks he can take a chomp out of you. And when that happens? Well, you're playing a game and you know the risks. You can't yell "foul" when someone dares to take a shot at the goal.

No one complained about a man exploiting his attractiveness, but there would have been uproar if a woman had done the same.

Who the squidfuck is piloting this upside-down retardo-copter?

She's absolutely right, and what she says has nothing to do with actual sexual harassment. Going to a job interview well groomed, well dressed and showing an amicable and reasonably attractive facade is helpful to land the job (specially vs making oneself look uglier). That doesn't equal to "go to the interview with your tits almost jumping out of your cleavage so the interviewer will think you'll fuck him to get the job"

I am pretty pleased with this unintended consequence of pound me too. By making the office a battlefield, they won't really realize en mass until it's too late that they are actually pushing equality merit, and responsibility. The ones that feminists don't like to accept. If you can't be safe hiring on a curve, then what's left? Merit, and versatility.. Who does that describe?

Women SHOULD use their looks to get ahead: That’s the incendiary view of an academic who argues the MeToo brigade are robbing women of a vital weapon – their ‘erotic capital’

Dr Catherine Hakim believes women should exploit their ‘erotic capital’
She urges for women not to be shamed for earning from their appearance
She says being vilified for using looks to get ahead controls instead of liberates
She believes radical feminists want society to conform to an anti-sex ideology
The social scientist says women should be able to reap the rewards of their looks
On average good-looking people earn up to 20 per cent more than others

In today's climate this looks like a prelude to a sexual harassment accusation or being metoo'd.

Use those YOGA pants in the office, work that ass to get a promotion and if you don't get it, just METOO the male staff out of their jobs to create job vacancies for yourself and your sisters!
