If David Davis had said he wouldn't *employ* Diane Abbott because he's "not blind", *that* would be sexist. Not wanting to kiss her isn't.pic.twitter.com/cqNTahZ3o6

can't see a male Member of Parliament being subjected to this sort of behaviour.
women in parliament often talk about how unattractive pot bellied balding male MPs are, what's the difference?
I'm talking about the original allegation. Even if he was *just* whispering in her ear.
whether air kissing or whispering, it's not remotely sexist behaviour. He was taking the mickey out of her.
the very fact he even thought it was acceptable says everything.
I think that just shows you don't know very much about how MPs - of both sexes - interact with each other in Commons bars.
well you try and pretend his behaviour wasn't slimy and out of order but I can't think of any workplace where it would be...
well, god knows where you've worked then. Wouldn't bat an eyelid anywhere I've worked
No man touches a woman in the workplace, it's not acceptable
