Raed Jarrar just toured Americaland, where he stopped off in Alaska to visit with Sarah Palin. His impressions? He said that her voice was very “annoying in person”. Yep, that sounds about right!

I agree with you 100% on this (except for the word “never” :>) )

Things are slowly changing but it takes a continued willingness to fight for change, eh? I think that’s why some of the women on this post have expressed dismay that younger women are so willing to sexualize themselves in the workplace nowdays. Older women have fought in the trenches since the 1960′s for women’s equality in the workplace….which included, in no small part, the fight to be viewed as more than a sexual distraction for the male workers, especially in more male-dominated professions.

It is important that behavior towards Ms McLeod by this administration be watched carefully and mustn’t be lost in talk or strategy about getting rid of the ghastly gov .
Outing private communication with Ms McLeod when it serves the Adminstration’s purpose is worthy of the same contempt I feel about the Administration refusing to pony up their own professional email for … how long now?

If that is not the case, and this is an ethics complaint (which I never got the impression that it was/is), and somehow alleges that the gov is directly or indirectly responsible for the poor wardrobe choices of State gov employees, well, then I’m going to have to say that it’s eye-roll worthy.

But that still does not negate the Toomey/Nizich dastardly behaviour, behaviour that seems worthy of an ethics complaint itself. To really get steamed about that aspect check out Celtic Diva’s post on this.

If one is an employee and wants to complain about having to sit around in meetings (or next to someone) with their stuff hanging out (cleavage/chest/etc), you meet with a supervisor in person or, if you’ve determined that they are less than credible in relation to taking action on issues, you send an email so that your concerns are voiced and there is a paper trail. This case seems to me to fall under that umbrella, with the spitefulness of Nizich/TOomey exploiting the situation to the gov’s advantage (or at least making the attempt to spin it to the gov’s advantage).
