Angela Lansbury: attractive women 'must sometimes take the blame' for sexual harassment

Unfortunately, the women who dress like a tease, use their sexuality (if not actual sex) to get the role, the promotion, the special favors, make the workplace worse for the rest of the women who want to be respected for our minds, skills, and actual ability to contribute.

What you just described is not about WOMEN, it's about the love of money and what depths people will sink to get it. Why aren't you as negative toward the men who suck up to the boss, hang out on the golf course with him, sell their very soul, etc., to get ahead? Another double standard. Men don't play power games with the boss to get ahead? RIGHT

I am convinced every evil can be traced to the love of money anyway. There are two types of people in this world in that regard. Women aren't treated like human beings in this way. Some women are forced to work and just want to be left alone. Just say the women you described above are bad PEOPLE rather than "bad "women". I don't want their baggage. It doesn't matter how I dress. (btw, most women who sell out to money don't work anyway - they marry it).

Your argument is too close to the old: men are studs if they sleep around and if women do the same thing they are sluts. Whether you realize it or not. Not fair. If what you described is stopping a woman from getting ahead....again....it's A MAN'S problem. He is the one holding you or any woman back and not recognizing your achievements. That's what needs to change. The women you describe have no power anyway. Blame the sex creep who is playing this office game then giving them promotions. I think younger women especially are tired of living in a "man's world" and are fighting it. Can't argue, The world does suck. LOL JMHO

I personally don't care how women dress--tight, loose, low cut, high cut. It's none of my business or anyone else's. I think sexually harassing someone or intimidating them is against the law. What else is there to know?
