Alledged Sexual Harrassment complaint on jets, followed by Clinton Portis comments

[knight_shadow]

Adding insult to injury: Gaaaaatdaaaamn *oogles reporter*

Serious: I agree with FSUZeta -- you can't dress like that in testosterone central and not expect people to take notice. There are ways to dress "sexy" yet professional (I think we discussed this in the Citibank thread), but she honestly looks like she's on the way to the club for Free Before 11.

If she were wearing the outfits the citibank lady at least posed for pictures in, I would take her more seriously.

She's definitely sexy. Part of how she's dressed is a component of what you see when you watch the news on stations such as Telemundo (?). I have seen female news anchors and meteorologists on some Latin American stations who were clearly placed there for viewers to WATCH.

However, you can be beautiful and sexy without exuding it in the manner that she is. Her outfits are doing too much. I'm sure she's dressed like that as a result of a combination of encouragement from her bosses and her own free will. I would say the same for a male reporter who found it necessary to wear a muscle shirt and scrotum clinching pants in a WNBA setting. Save the sexy for a better venue, people.

Sexual harassment? Nah. Hypermasculinity? Yes. A lesson to be learned and a cultural note about a distinction between sexuality in North America and sexuality in Latin America? Yes.

This is also a reminder that something can be sexual harassment even if the target encouraged it (i.e. if this reporter smiled or twitched her ass even more as the cat calling began) and didn't mind how she or he was being approached.

Yeah the Citibank lady was pretty and sexy (wasn't she a plastic surgery fan?) without wearing the tight and low cut shirts and pants.

Yeah. I'm not saying she deserved to be harassed, or either of them really (if they both were - I don't know), but someone would get by just fine wearing the citibank lady's outfits to my office. And I loved her shoes. This lady, not so much.

Although this does speak to the network she was on - I can't imagine she didn't have to go through some sort of wardrobe process.

And for whatever reason, her first outfit reminds me of Kelly Kapowski from Saved By the Bell: The College Years.
