I wasn't the one claiming he transferred her to save her from sexual harassment. I actually think that argument was sort of lame. As for the rest...

He changed his mind, yes. After she apologizes to him for the President sexually harassing her. I'm surprised that doesn't feel more icky to people than it does.

I didn't titter uncomfortably when his assistant made those ugly remarks about the size of Natalie's butt and thighs. I kind of sat back in shock because... well, first those are horrible things to say about someone.

"We have to look at the characters involved. David is your stereotyped British fellow, who has difficulty expressing himself. He's damn polite. It would have been out of character to have him strangle his assistant for insulting Natalie, or actually have her boyfriend killed for dumping her over weight gain. It would have been out of character to have him raise his voice."

So there are no other ways to let your employee know that such remarks are inappropriate and unprofessional besides resorting to physical violence or yelling? I don't think this is true. I also don't think it's unreasonable to expect a Prime Minister to know how to deal with awkward staff conflicts politely and non-violently. People manage this all the time, actually.


I don't find it chilling when two people "deal realistically with society's views of what a woman should look like". I find it chilling that those are society's views, and that they're treated as acceptable-- as if it's perfectly okay to harshly denigrate your co-worker's personal appearance if it doesn't meet with your idea of beauty, and even your boss doesn't feel it necessary to speak up even though the remarks are targeted at the women he supposedly loves.

What was I expecting? Not perfection, certainly. But maybe a little more protest about the idea that it's okay to be hateful toward people we think aren't skinny enough.

But IIRC she wasn't saying "oh I'm so sorry I got harassed, won't you forgive me?" or some bullshit. She was saying that she was sorry (not as in "apologizing" or taking-the-blame-sorry but sorry as in "sorry for your loss" or "sorry about your hardship" or "damn, I'm sorry you had to go through that, it blows man", which is when a person says sorry even if they know they had absolutely nothing to do with it), that all that bullshit came between them and caused him trouble. Because, you know, she liked him and was sorry (in the sense of being sad and empathetic for him, not self-blaming) to know he was in trouble. She was not saying "I apologize for getting harassed and somehow being directly at fault for all the crap that you went through." They're two totally different things.
