Calling a female colleague a “pretty woman” at work is sex discrimination, a tribunal has ruled.
Not really, no.
The ruling came in the case of an accounts manager who sued her employers after her boss told her to attend a meeting – because a male client liked “pretty women”.
Emma Nunn was left feeling “humiliated and undermined” when Adam Crouch extended the invitation purely for her physical appearance, the employment tribunal heard.
Asking her to be the performative totty might be discrimination though.

How so? Had the assistant been a good-looking man and the visiting client a woman with an appreciative eye, then a similar scenario is perfectly thinkable. An “accounts manager” should be able to understand the basics of the role.
She should have asked for a bonus. She’s got a skill, she should have been happy to exploit it.

“The phenomenon is based on the perception that association with foreigners, specifically white foreigners, can signify prestige, legitimacy, and international status.[2][3][4] The jobs themselves, called “white monkey jobs” or “face jobs”,[5] often require little actual work on the part of the model, who in some cases is not expected to be fluent in Chinese.[6][4] The concept is considered a subset of a larger “rent a foreigner” industry in China and other parts of Asia.[2][7]“
She’s already had the bonus, that of being hired before others more qualified on the basis of her (no doubt) youthful looks. It’s how young, good looking women succeed against their male peers.
The downside (as the elderly doyen of the BBC will attest under oath), is that the positive discrimination doesn’t last, so you’d better have something between your ears that keeps you ahead of your hungry male cohort.
Miss Nunn told the director she should have been needed in the meeting as she ‘looked after’ the company. She added to the director of the f: “I am not coming If just for pretty face”. In response, Mr Crouch said: “calm down Royder! Ok babes xx.”
Lol.

Not for much longer. Did you notice how the Chinese deliberately humiliated Blinken and Scholz on their recent trips to the land of China?
The Chinks no longer feel inclined to show even basic diplomatic courtesy to white people who aren’t Vladimir Putin and friends. Any Westerners living in China should probably have a go bag ready, because the West is treating China like an enemy and the Chinee seem eager to reciprocate.
JG: Thank you for prompting the thought that, when what’s between your legs no longer works for you, you become dependent on what’s between your ears.
Leave Kamala out of this.
Ooops. I’d better not tell the girls at the checkout counter that the reason I’m shopping is because of their exquisite beauty anymore.
John Galt,
“She’s already had the bonus, that of being hired before others more qualified on the basis of her (no doubt) youthful looks. It’s how young, good looking women succeed against their male peers.”
Also, young, good looking women get far more help in the office than anyone else. Because men will gladly sit down and write her Excel formulae like they won’t with anyone else.
I worked with a woman who for a couple of years got away with writing incoherent code because a bloke fixed it for her. This became apparent when he left.
Steve,
The problem is that China went from doing all the poor, low-end manufacturing stuff, to doing things where there are companies and unions that fund the Democrat party that are under threat. The Democrats didn’t mind when it was low-end manufacturing jobs from companies that weren’t their pals, but once it hit internet services or car making, they did. But they couldn’t be honest and say that they wanted to look after the United Auto Workers at the cost of US consumers, so have a shitty Ford instead of a BYD. And the easiest way to get the public to stop asking questions is to throw “national security” out there and have the MSM repeat all sorts of bullshit about how TikTok is a threat to the nation and a lot of the morons will nod along. When it’s really a threat to the likes of Facebook, YouTube and Snapchat.
China’s responding quite rationally to this. Shunning the politicians, building up their own supplies, reaching out for more alliances with other countries.
Did everyone do what I did and google her to find a picture? And see that no-one covering the story has put one up, except the Daily Mail.
Nope Andrew. I didn’t think of this until I saw your suggestion.
Emma Nunn looks pretty average imo, not the typical scowling leftie. She doesn’t look worth £60k a year
