"You're in such good shape"...yes, that is how our president addressed the First Lady of Francehttps://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/885561125420584960 …
So inappropriate.https://twitter.com/BraddJaffy/status/885559192060391429 …
Something nice would be complementing her dress. Commenting on her body is totally inappropriate. And gross
#Trump telling France's First Lady "you're in such good shape" epitomizes men towing the line between compliment & sexual harassment. 1/
People will shrug and say, "#Trump was just offering her a compliment!" It's creepy and over the line to comment on a person's body. 2/
The comment is like catcalling — never about beauty, it's about power. It's a reminder that #Trump and men have power over our bodies. 3/
And free reign to comment on women's bodies and appearances. It's a reminder that the body of France's First Lady isn't her own. 4/
It's a reminder that her body is up for public consumption and she's not powerful enough to shut him down in a public setting. 5/
Her hands were tied. She has to make nice. So, she is forced to take an unsolicited compliment about her body. 6/
Pretty sure that most HR departments would not be okay with male bosses walking around and telling women they are "in shape." 7/
We also can't forget that #Trump's comment comes from someone who said it's okay to "grab" women upon meeting them. 8/
He could have just said "you look great" or "nice to meet you" or even "you are very stylish" rather than comment on her BODY. 9/
Remind yourself every time something like this happens that it's unacceptable and we just can't normalize it or make light of it. /10
