The big deal is that people are judging her capabilities based on her looks. There are also people who are behaving inappropriately towards her in professional settings as a result of her looks (it isn't clear to me that this is a result of the ad). She gives two very clear examples of this unprofessional behavior. Given the limited information I could see the first being a poor attempt at a joke. However, it made her uncomfortable so it definitely wasn't appropriate. The second example is the kind of thing that can get companies sued and employees fired.
- ljk 11y agoDefinitely thought the two examples of unprofessional behavior unacceptable, but those happen to people of all professions. It's good that these behaviors are getting called out but it seems like people are unnecessarily harsh on the cs field on these issues(almost feels like it's a trend to complain everything about this field, maybe that's what happens when it gets popular)
- fredophile 11y agoJust because there is also unacceptable behavior in other professions doesn't mean we should ignore it in ours. Change needs to start somewhere and creating awareness of the issue helps to encourage change. Hopefully more people in all professions will speak out against this sort of behavior.
- ljk 11y agoAgree that we shouldn't ignore it, just feels like cs is made the scapegoat sometimes
