This was made as advice on how to talk to women in the workplace... I like it... the first one is problematic because it is an indirect way of someone saying they like my body and a coworker or superior should not be complimenting me about my body. Compliment my work ethic and what I bring to the organization.

I’m good with it. Although with familiarity of who you are speaking to the first one is not a no , no . I’ve paid ladies compliments with out vulgarity at work involved.

Even Easier: If you wouldn't say it to a guy, (or if you did, expect to be punched!) Don't say it to ANYONE!

I use that rule everywhere.

Back in the 1980s we had a lot of sensitivity training, how to communicate respectfully with women and minorities in the workplace. I guess that's all passé in trumpworld.

Wow. Never heard those statements said to a woman in my life. Interesting.

I don't get why the third one is out.

I think it is the double standard, that is not said to men. And the Assumption that the woman is the caretaker of the kids, reducing said woman to gender norms. Where for all we know she has a stay at home partner or a nanny doing that work.

@demifeministgal I think it's too vague for that. Plus, it would also play in the other direction, that men have nothing to do with "family life." Had it been "raise your kids" instead, then I might see it, or specifically mentioning motherhood.
