Find me a business where a woman would show up dressed like a fancy cowgirl for a setting in a barn and we can talk.
Harvey Weinstein says I think I can answer that question.

Business retreats to ranches. Been there, done that.
Then let's talk!
In that setting would you be flabbergasted if a male coworker said "hey, looking good in those boots!"?
On the other hand a women that is judged the ugliest woman on earth can have a job in the board room if she is a whiz with accounting numbers, but the ugliest woman on earth isn't getting a job as sideline reporter even with an encyclopedic knowledge of sports. Looks are a part of sideline reporting, they aren't a part of analyzing liquidity issues, so comments about looks may be relevant in one place that they are not in another.

Nope. I welcome compliments on my appearance. And honestly, most women do. Yes, we get up and do all the makeup/hair/outfit for ourselves mostly, but we also like to receive compliments.
Is this “actual woman” (seems a tad demeaning to Mrs. Andrews, lol) wearing a de facto costume for effect?
I work for a Fortune 150, multinational corporation.
I interact with professional, intelligent and accomplished women at all levels, on the daily.
Spare me your “insight”.
How many announcers (announcers, not colour commentators, and not sideline reports), regardless of sex, have played the game?
On two come to mind off the top of my head - Pat Summerall and Todd Ellis. I'm sure there are many more.
Some of the best coaches/managers out there have never played a down or inning.
Her comments were pretty insightful.
What a strange, strange world we live in when you can't compliment someone on their appearance.
Eventually, we will not be able to look at or talk to each other.
He was commenting on her cowboy themed clothes since they were talking about horses.
Really yall?

Twenty years in Broadcasting and 25 in HR here. You're wasting your time on this "massive" controversey
Trust me, the world you are creating with this petty condemnation is going to be so sad. And fair warning, keep it up, and you'll be the person at 'work' everybody avoids.

Bless your heart.
For the record - the "actual woman" comment was to all the males in this thread speaking on behalf of women. It had nothing to do with Erin.
Couldn't care less what type company you work for. Doesn't make you a better judge of women in the work world, or how they like to be treated, or what is going through their minds. You can still be the biggest misogynist on the face of the Earth, while the trash man can be the best man you'll ever meet in your life.

Not really.
Balanced, but not insightful.
Particularly the - “it’s not anyone’s job to tell me when I should/should not be offended by something said to me”
As if that sentiment only applies to a woman.
Clearly. anyone can choose to be offended at any time for any reason. It is 2021!
JFC liberals are such little whiney little bitches. She asked him a question that had nothing to do with sports, she asked how old was he when he started riding horses, he answered and made a comment about how he liked her cowboy boots. Context is key.
He said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG! Its the crazies on social media being ignorant and woke. Probably liberals for sure! 😃🤣🙄🤔😏😒😂
Yeah, right! Try that at home and see where it'll get you when you DON'T comment positively on how nice she looks!
To women who were offended & might be attractive......don't worry....in time no one will compliment you on your looks .
Another reason to despise what America has become. You can't say anything to anyone lest they be offended. And now you can't even compliment a pretty woman without someone totally unconnected to her being offended. I guess we're supposed to pretend that everyone is all the same. No one's pretty, ugly, fat, skinny, bald, wearing glasses, smart, dumb, tall, short or anything else that could be identified as different than the norm. It's disgusting to me what America has become. A bunch of whining crybaby sissies. Gee, I hope I didn't offend anyone with this post. Naw, actually I don't give a schitt.
Self-aggrandizing.
Patronizing.
A bit presumptuous.
I suppose that does provide some personal insight.
It’s okay. I know those qualities aren’t reflective of most women. Certainly not the ones in my personal and professional lives.
But, no judging!
He wasn't even commenting on her looks. Just said her outfit looked nice.
Would folk be offended if a guy told a girl she had a nice car?
Where's the line.
You obviously need some insight if you took her comment as he demeaning to Mrs. Andrews. lol
And I'm married to an executive level female, and she gets to decide what is offensive to her and what makes her uncomfortable. Not me. Not you. Not social media dip shits.
Demeaning??
What are you bleating about now??
Good lawd you’re dense.
You’re married to a female. Congratulations. I guess…
Bleat on.
Why would she need to calm down the crybabies who had no reason to get upset to begin with? They need to run to their mommies if they need comforting.
In fact, if she did, the same people would probably start attacking her not joining into their outrage that didn't have anything to do with them to begin with.

This is SO very true these days.
Nice that you’re telling women how and when they should be offended. Your sterile life doesn’t sound like too much fun.
Ever notice how female announcers on televised women’s basketball games often comment on female coach’s attire or hairstyles and face no backlash? But if a male announcer would make the same comment he would be fired, no doubt.
Sorry...responded before I read your other comments. Thanks!
In just about every aspect of TV based media. Look at the women and men doing local TV.

No worries. I would have welcomed your comments on men being complimented on their suit choices. I will tell a man if he looks nice. A man who can wear well a nicely tailored suit is nice sight to see. Not gonna lie.
Meh. Second class.
The broiler at the BK Lounge is the big time.
I mastered that puppy and the vat of lye used to clean the pieces, parts at 16.
But, tell your roommates “hi”.
It seems innocuous and the outrage manufactured. I'd be interested in Erin's own comments - if she's not offended then no one should be.
However, it should be noted that Erin had to deal publicly with a very troubling stalker situation several years back. Her handling of that situation (at least what the public saw) seemed extremely brave and professional. I gained a great deal of respect for her when she went back to work. (I get that this thing with Bradshaw is by no means the same situation).
