Thought of the day: feminism is AWFUL.
Thought of the day: why not take the time to sexually harass a stranger pic.twitter.com/az7Ly2lVnz

Huh?
The sign says nothing of the sort. In fact, all it says is to be kind to one another and instead of being angry at strangers all day, look for the good in them. Seems a pretty positive and uplifting message when so much of what we experience on a day-to-day basis is fairly negative and hateful.
But God forbid strangers be kind.
*eye roll*
Women are so fragile a compliment destroys them. https://t.co/AWMNaLyOdf

Not all of us, doc.
She went on:
For journalists asking for comment on this tweet
1) On the face of it this comment is innocent. The context of it is in one of the busiest stations in London. But some people will take this as a cue that it's ok to go up to strangers and comment on their appearance.— Dina Rickman (@dinarickman) May 2, 2018
No.
2) All women know what it’s like to get unsolicited attention on the tube
3) Strangers coming up to you and commenting on your appearance – if that's 'something beautiful' about you it can be intimidating
4) Men can be sexually harassed too— Dina Rickman (@dinarickman) May 2, 2018
And to think, this actually makes sense in her head.
5) It's about normalising behaviour that isn't sensitive to people trying to go about their everyday business
6) Piers Morgan organising a massive pile on on a woman shows exactly the kind of male entitlement that causes sexual harassment— Dina Rickman (@dinarickman) May 2, 2018
Piers didn’t force this broad or anyone else to make a big deal out of something this menial.
It was a SIGN reminding people to be kind to one another for a change.
Nothing more.
P.S. If you want to know more about sexual harassment https://t.co/u1uDnF5IvG

PS: No thanks.
Someone could be anyone? So if I say to a friend their outfits nice or their hair looks good, am I sexually harassing my friend?
— Megara_35 (@Megara_35) May 2, 2018
Fair question.
Obviously not, and I think you know that. I think approaching a stranger and complimenting them on something beautiful about them can be viewed as sexual harassment and definitely doesn't brighten their day.

Wait, did Dina just talk down to this gal making a valid point by asking a question?
Fascinating.
*sigh*
You women and your female privilege. You don't realize how good you have it because it happens to you all the time.
Straight men would kill to have that come from the opposite sex.

Careful, she’ll insist you’re sexually harassing her.
I'll always remember a day I was feeling upset (long story), was waiting for a cab in the street and a lady (complete stranger) was loading up her car and said ' you know you are really beautiful'. Such a kind lady, we need more not less.

This is a really lovely story and I'm pleased it brightened your day! I don't mean all random compliments are sexual harassment – it's context dependent.
— Dina Rickman (@dinarickman) May 2, 2018
Huh?
A simple, cheerful and innocent ‘thought of the day’ totally taken out of context and turned into another ? debate. Plus, the board doesn’t say anything about appearance. Seeing something beautiful in someone and pointing it out doesn’t have to be about looks.
