Didn't particularly bother me, I didn't acknowledge it at all but I would allow myself a small smile when alone. I'm big enough to admit that it was a little flattering.

I'm with you on that Eve. It can be flattering.
I enjoy the banter, it's part of my job. If they can give it then they must be able to take it too.
Some of these stuffed shirts would have a heart attack if they saw and heard what goes on where I work.
If someone over steps the mark then I have no problem putting them in their place. I would never go running to my boss. |

I used to quite like it, found it flattering. Hasn’t happened for ages, and I’d assumed it was because I’m middle aged now. But maybe it’s political correctness and not me that’s the problem.

Some women find it very threatening and that’s not about political correctness. |

Isn’t that to a certain extent what political correctness is? A behaviour ceasing to be acceptable as a result of some people finding the behaviour threatening or insulting or abusive or similar? |

Political correctness implies somethings else in my mind, this is just about basic respect for others. |

Not sure the exact definition of PC. However, if this issue is about respect to others, when someone used to do it to me, I did not think they were being disrespectful towards me. Maybe they were, but I always took it as a compliment, and still would. I would never have known it was disrespectful if it weren’t for society cracking down on certain behaviour. I’m aware that I’m different though.

Some women found it threatening. Which means they would avoid walking past building sites etc. That can’t be right. |

I’ve never disputed that some women find it threatening, and it is indeed wrong for women to be put in that situation. |
