[Thread] My boss made a comment today along the line of "I don't get how women can complain about how they get treated when they do shit like this." I turned around and to see what he was talking about, and he was looking at a thumbnail of a profile pic of a woman on LinkedIn.

Referring to himself as 'Sawyer', the employee also a part-time podcaster took this to Twitter to describe his horror. He posted, "She was a nice looking woman - it was a head and shoulders shot of her wearing a grey t-shirt and smiling at the camera. It was as generic as you could get, which is what LinkedIn likes for profile pictures. I was totally baffled and said 'S**t like... what?"

"Slutty" is obviously a dumb af hypermisogynistic construct, but let me repeat - it was a headshot of a woman wearing a gray t-shirt. The only skin on her you could see was her face and collarbones. I was STILL LOST and he was getting annoyed like I was being deliberately dumb

This man saw a THUMBNAIL of a picture of an attractive woman, and decided that not only was she a "slut", but that her presumed "behavior" meant she deserved any harassment or assault she experienced - and felt this strongly enough to say it out loud, unprompted, and AT WORK.

Sawyer also added, "He clicked on it to open it full-size, like he thought I just wasn't seeing it well enough and said 'This! I said ' Taking selfies ?' He said 'Taking selfies like THAT.' I was still absolutely lost, so I asked him to explain. He said 'Just, like, slutty pictures."
A woman has her smiling face on her profile. A man she has never met sees it and instantly feels rage and disgust. He believes she invites and deserves harrassment/assault.

All because she dared to be attractive in a public space.
Sawyer also tweeted that when he asked his boss what so bad about the woman's photo, His boss responded, "Well, she's insanely hot." Shortly after sharing the conversation on social media platform, Twitter, a huge amount of people weighed in to express their disgust and anger over objectifying women.
