LinkedIn rant!

Apols, using this as a ranting board otherwise I'll not get over to sleep!

I was browsing LinkedIn before, saw a post from a woman who works in sales, fairly senior, post was about some big sale she'd made. Picture of her looking v professional holding a contract or the likes. The posts below made my blood boil! Man 1: "Well with legs like that she could sell anything" (she was wearing a skirt below the knee, not that that should matter). Man 2: "Women want equality, well they should try just spending 5 minutes getting ready and not 3 hours and do a real day's work". Man 3: "Yep, I would definitely smash that". Etc, etc. What the FUCK is wrong with some people!!? I reaĺly wanted to comment but sometimes I feel like there's no telling these idiots. ARGHHH!

As I say, just wanted a rant!

Do you think they really meant it?
Their comments were especially vitriolic, and of a level that anyone would look askance at. Unprofessional was the least of it.

If I said something of that "severity" in my own industry I'd rightfully be in for a bollocking for bringing my company into disrepute.

I know a few truck drivers and cyclists are a serious occupational hazard for them
We've all seen videos of cyclists being utter bellends; just as we've also seen drivers being utter bellends. But we still all have to share the roads and remember that one can kill the other very easily.

Re-quoting on social media - not sure, that seemed to bring a huge backlash down on Charlotte Proudman when she did it.
Good point, probably better done with an anonymous email instead.
But if nothing is said it's just the bystander effect, probably a couple dozen people saw the comments and thought the same thing but nobody said anything. And that's half the problem.

I've never liked anything made by Sprockercorp.

I'm really surprised genuine buisness profiles would post that stuff clearly no sense of consequence is there?

When I've seen it it's either been take accounts (Sprockettcorp?) or people in non-corporste professions.

I'm going to out SprocketCorp into liquidation, I think I've lost my market
