Catriona, the lady in red..

Ballstein

Looks like a master stroke by Catriona Perry, global front page news. Wearing a figure hugging tight red dress in front of a perverted old codger with a predisposition for young, toothy blonds. She may play coy, but it's straight out of a Ron Burgundy movie such was the predictability of it all. Oh and save your "she should be able wear what ever she likes crap", it was a carefully calculated move on her behalf that has sent her profile stratospheric.

You've posted that before, it's a grainy split second of him putting his leg up on the chair and then down again quickly. It's literally a few seconds. That shot there is not how it appears in the video and even that shot shows nothing really. That could be a trouser crease and actually when you watch the video, that's exactly what it is. I'm going to do a screengrab to demonstrate because it needs to be shown what the video ACTUALLY depicts. Actually, just won't bother. I implore people to PLEASE WATCH this pathetic video so you see how pitiful it is. I have never seen so pathetic. Watch it people and don't be taken in by that image above. Have you even watched it, Outlaw Pete? I suspect you have and well know that it's nothing. And if you have watched it and have still posted it here, scarleh for you. Where do you get this crap and are you not embarrassed to be posting it? Step away from the Youtube.

It's a terrible video from deep in the Youtube rabbit hole. It's grainy and of poor quality. It basically looks a big crease in his trousers. There is no way to surmise that that is a trousersnake from the information given. It's truly dreadful. And it's not the first time you've wheeled it out, the last time was when Trump was taking some well-deserved flack over pussy-gate. This was apparently to show that Obama is as bad. I would be embarrassed to post something like that.

I doubt anyone would argue that Donald Trump is about as subtle as a bulldozer. But we're now living in a world of the constantly offended.
I'm a fit and healthy person, more than capable of opening a door all by myself, and I still love it when a man holds a door open for me, or treats me like a lady and with respect.

If my husband or any man pulls out my chair for me in a restaurant, I don't spit on him and call him a sexist pig and I have no intention of ever going on a women's march wearing a giant vagina costume. I don't need a march to confirm that I am equal in every way.

Trump is a bullish and rude man, he's also from a different generation, and however inappropriate his behaviour towards women might seem to generation offended, I honestly don't think he meant any insult to Catriona.

Is that you Barack?!

The more you try to deny your raging bull, the more obvious it is that you got one.

The worlds gone mad. Just watched the video and the uproar is ridiculous. Can't even conpliment a smile any more. No wonder lads are afraid to give genuine conpliments for fear of being judged.

Why would you think it's a nonsense? Are you saying Perry is above using her looks to her advantages? While I doubt she expected to be called out like that I've no doubt that she knew exactly what she was doing when she wore that outfit.

You'd swear she was wearing a low cut top and a pair of hot pants! The dress she wore looked perfectly professional and not unlike what you'd see many women wearing while working at a high profile event

It would make you wonder if more world leaders are susceptible to such trickery?
You could get some old dear with a Zimmer frame and a blue rinse to grab Macron's attention or a fit young man in a leather vest and chaps to catch Leo's eye..

Yeah, I don't consider that remotely as bad. An offhand term of endearment is not the same to me at all. Like, if someone called me 'sweetie' like that, I wouldn't mind, kinda like someone saying 'love' or 'dear'. I've never minded any of those terms. People generally mean well saying them. But someone making a point of noting my "nice smile" while I'm trying to do my job would give me pause. Side eye would be deployed. It's moving into the realms of objectification. 'Sweetie' most certainly does not have the same effect. Reminds me off all the creeps down the year who seem offended by the fact that I'm not smiling in their presence and jokingly instruct me to do so. Just not the same.

I could have predicted some of the users who would thank your post though and was not disappointed. I think I guessed five out of seven.

Sounded more like a patronising way to shut up a female reporter asking a question he didn't want to answer to me. (And assuming the narrator is righr, he never did answer it)

I'm no fan of Trump and the way that he talks about women is appalling but I watched the video and I have to say that it didn't come across as sleazy or leering to me, more friendly or like he was looking for something nice to say. I don't know why he asked her to come over exactly but it seems pretty harmless to me. I actually think that the way Obama said ''sweetie'' was more patronising.

I was seeing this absolute d1ckhead though who used to call me sweetheart all the time in a really patronising way, I think that's partially why I cannot stand the word.

What is the problem?
There is a journalist who was commissioned to report about the phone call between Varadkar and that American imbecile who calls imself president, he couldn't handle a political conversation, if there ever could be one between people who don't know feck all about each other, or at least that Yank doesn't know know red from blue ... hang on, he knows red if it's a red dress on a blond woman.

Anyway, to distract from his ingnorance he hit on what he knows best: a young blonde.

So who is to blame? A female journalist who happens to be young and attractive or an old lecher who uses his supposed power as alpha male to suffocate any political conversation he hasn't a clue about anyway by distracting to "lovely smiles" (not his though)?

And what it is about red dresses? What association have the gentleman of AH with it?

I don't know this Catriona woman, don't know her work, I'm not on twitter either. But I watched that video because it was all over the place.
If Varadkar on the phone had any backbone he would have shouted: Oi, I'M talking to you! Well, I would, and more ...

And what it is about red dresses? What association have the gentleman of AH with it?

I don,t know what the association the gentlemen of AH have with red dresses.

I do know you don't wear a red dress unless you have a lot of confidence and you certainly don't wear a tight red dress unless you are very confident. Red is a colour that stands out and says hey look at me.

I don't know what happened or what its about, but I can tell you this much, I am outraged. I haven't been out raged since breakfast. This is appalling, I can't believe this has happened. In this day and age no less.

I'm not discounting the fact that women, due to societal context, would be more likely than not to be offended by this kind of talk, but where feminists are saying "imagine if a female politician did this to a male reporter", I think this is one of those cases in which feminists need to accept that men and women are different. Women are offended by this kind of carry on and therefore they shouldn't be subjected to it, which is absolutely fair enough, but they're making a mistake by appealing to a gender-flip to demonstrate, a la Una Mullally in today's Irish Times:

One can’t imagine Perry’s predecessor as RTÉ’s US correspondent, Richard Downes, having his appearance and smile being commented on by a female politician in full view of the world’s press. Can you imagine if a female leader did what Trump did to a male journalist? Or a gay male leader did what Trump did to a male journalist?

To be quite honest, I'm pretty sure that if it did happen, the vast majority of lads wouldn't give a bollocks about it happening to themselves, let alone be outraged on another lad's behalf. It's just not really the way we think - or maybe that's just me? I've worked for female managers before and if one of them sleazily told me that I looked like I'd been spending a lot of time in the gym, I'd probably just go "well I really haven't but I'm glad I've still 'got it' nonetheless"

It's just one of those things that women find offensive while lads - regardless of whether it happened to them or another lad - are unlikely to think is a big deal. Obviously there's a social and historical context there so I'm not invalidating the fact that women find it offensive, I'm merely pointing out that the "imagine if this happened to a male reporter" line is redundant - if it did happen to a male reporter, I'm pretty sure most peoples' reaction, including the reporter in question, would be a resounding "meh".

Maybe she did and maybe she didn't but in all fairness to the orange one he can do and has done a lot better.

He was only toying with her, that's his personality. He would have been called a charmer 30 years ago, now at his age it's "perverted old codger."

Nobody tried to do that. Clinton was impeached for something that would be laughed off today by the same people if Trump were to do it. Trump is the guy that was fantasizing about sex with his own daughter.

The so called liberal media are the reason Trump is in office right now. They humanized this guy and gave him thousands of hours of free press in 2015-16 all the while ignoring most of his past.
