Question

As you will read in our text, looks and image are very important issues for women. Take a look at this article from England about Laura Fernee, a woman who claims that she is too pretty to hold a job (right click or hold your finger on the link to open it in a new tab - there are a lot of images with the article so it might take a minute or two to load). Read the article, and look through some of the comments also.

What's your opinion? Knowing what we now do about harassment, do you think Ms. Fernee's only option was to just not work ? Why or why not?

Explanation / Answer

I don't think Ms. Fernee's is convincing enough. I think a lot of pretty women are working without going through harassment. And when it comes to harassment good looks are not the only reason for it, women of all kind of looks, color and race and of all age are prone to harassments, so I find that she is just using it as an excuse, she is already rich and what she earned from her job was way less of how much she spends now overall from her parents will. Even if she was harassed quiting work was not the option, she could seek legal help, many workplaces have anti harassment cells now to check on these kind of issues. Therefore, I don't find her convincing.
