This should not be an issue. Men and women both should be able to voice their opinions on people they find appealing, especially in casual ways such as this.
Any comment regarding somebody is objectifying that person. Just don't be an asshole when going about it, and everything is fine.
- clhodapp 13y agoMy concerns are that: 1) The comment in question reinforces the idea that software teams are made up of men who are interested in being surrounded by beautiful women, which is what I'm referring to when I mention the "boy's club". As another commenter wonderfully puts it, "It assumes a heteronormative misogynistic view of the world." 2) It also makes a separation between 'the people' and 'the beautiful CR women' (though I might be reading too much into the exact wording).
- Lambdanaut 13y agoYeah, those are legitimate concerns. Perhaps the better way it could've been phrased was "beautiful people" rather than "beautiful women".
