Hahahaha unless he had his prick in his hand at the time then that is fucking ridiculous.

That could be completely innocent. I've asked girls I've worked with do they have boyfriends, not because I want to ask them out but out of curiosity and you know, normal social interaction.

There’s got to be more to it than that, surely?

The bastard has just presumed she is straight. He should of said do you have a partner because I want to know my chances of fucking you!

She was new apparently and said she felt sexually intimidated. His boss has been bollocked too.

His boss? Did they try her for a two's up or something? Snowflake central.

It was an IT guy so I'm picturing a load of weirdos standing around her when he asked, mouths hanging open & cups of tea spilling out on to the floor.

 

You could see why she might feel intimidated.

I find this type of stereotyping completely wide of the mark, none of the women look like you describe in the videos I've seen...

I suspect there are more layers than the surface one given here, Sec.  Just a suspicion.

If he was a good looking sales chad she would've tittered and blushed. As it was an IT incel she's rightly felt scared

The office girls where I am were asking if I was single on my first day there. Damn direct Dutch women. I now realise how outraged I am and will be taking the next year off.

Reminds me of that old joke: 

 

Fella goes to the checkout in the supermarket. Scans 4 ready meals for 1, 1 can of coke, 1 pint of milk and 1 loaf of bread.

 

Checkout girls goes "Do you mind if I ask sir, are you single?"

 

Fella all smug "Why, because i'm shopping for 1?" 

 

"No because you are one ugly cunt"

A long read, but the gist is that a professor got in a lift at a conference, it was busy so someone asked people to shout out the floor they wanted and he’d press the button.  Professor shouts “Lady’s Lingerie”, a few people laugh.  Women’s Studies professor in the lift reports him and he’s in bother.

British Film Institute Vows Not to Fund Movies With Facial-Scarred Villains

 

The British Film Institute (BFI) has announced it will no longer fund movies featuring villain characters with facial scars.

 

The organization’s decision supports the growing #IAmNotYourVillain campaign started by Changing Faces, the United Kingdom’s leading charity group for people with a visible difference such as a mark or scar. The group has made it their mission to de-stigmatize facial scars in film and television since scarring is often used on villains (see The Joker, Darth Vader, and more), and now the BFI is vowing to support that effort.

 

“Film is a catalyst for change and that is why we are committing to not having negative representations depicted through scars or facial difference in the films we fund,” BFI Deputy CEO Ben Roberts said in a statement. “This campaign speaks directly to the criteria in the BFI diversity standards, which call for meaningful representations on-screen. We fully support Changing Faces’s #IAmNotYourVillain campaign, and urge the rest of the film industry to do the same.”

 

Becky Hewitt, Changing Faces’ chief executive, added, “The film industry has such power to influence the public with its representation of diversity, and yet films use scars and looking different as a shorthand for villainy far too often.”

 

Not only will the BFI stop funding films with facially scarred villains, but it will also attempt to course-correct the conversation around visible differences by financing the film “Dirty God.” The drama, set to premiere at Sundance in January, stars Vicky Knight as a burn survivor reentering society after an acid attack.

 

Changing Faces provides advice, support, and psychosocial services to children, young people and adults with visible differences. According to the charity, there are 1.3 million people in the United Kingdom who have a visible difference. “We challenge discrimination and we campaign for Face Equality: a world that truly values and respects people who look different,” the charity’s website reads.
