This is yet another example of the left's misuse of a word. In this case, it's "misogynistic." The word means to hate women -- i.e. "You stupid bitch" or "Ugly slut!"
But a compliment isn't "misogynistic." It might be inappropriate or awkward, but it's given in the spirit of praise, not hate.
So why does this woman -- and others on the left -- use this word to mean things other than hate? That's easy: So they can smear men for anything they feel like.
It's a deliberate perversion of a word for political purposes. The left specializes in "repurposing" words and phrases. This is to control thought.
Words beget thought. If you don't have properly-defined words, your thoughts get muddled. Ever wonder why surgeons have to memorize thousands of names of body parts and chemicals? Because without those WORDS they don't know precisely what to do. Take away the WORDS and you have a knife cutting into skin willy-nilly.*
We take words for granted, but they matter. The left knows this and tries to mess up our thoughts and interactions by subtly altering the language.
Another of my pet peeves (which I've explained on here before) is the expanded definition of the phrase "single mom" for political purposes. It SHOULD mean "unmarried mother" but has come to mean everything from divorced women to widows with kids.
Why did the left do this? They did it so we can't judge women who wantonly have kid after kid with bad boys. Because now if we judge single mothers, they can lump in Sept. 11 widows and women whose husbands left them. Then, all of a sudden, you're the bad guy for judging.
Whenever possible, it's good to call the left out on its War on Words.

All that said, I think this was a pity compliment and the guy got burned. Women who have bizarre Beatle haircuts often have issues and don't want to be complimented.
I say we institute a rule about this: Never compliment a woman with hair above the shoulders because they have issues.
If you want to compliment someone on a "pudding bowl" haircut, write a letter to the Fab Four. In 1964.
* I know I've written all this on here before. But they don't teach you this in school and I think it really, really, really needs to be emphasized. Had I known all this at 22 instead of 42, life would have been easier.

I have four WNB rules of thumb, and this woman hits three of them:
1. Short hair.
2. Dead eyes.
3. Affected personas (goths, punks, hair dye) - good short term, hellish long-term
4. Careers where they have administrative power over other people. Whilst this includes lawyers, middle management, politics and human resources, the real danger zone is being the gateway to what the mind is allowed to know: education; journalism; libraries; publicly-funded television.
The female barrister who accused another lawyer of being sexist for admiring her photograph wrote a “vitriolic” email to her elderly grandmother shortly before her death, it has emerged.
An acquaintance of Miss Proudman had claimed she wrote a “vicious” letter to Mrs Bailye in which she allegedly accused her of having failed in life. Mrs Bailye died in April last year aged 83.

In this case, giving the typical disclaimer before making a manicured display of interest would only infuriate any feminist lawyercunt (my new favorite word thanks to Heartiste).
He came off as a pussy right from the git-go. He then apologized profusely after his public shaming.
In these situations one should always ask themselves, "What would Donald do?"
If we've reached a point at which the message sent by that solicitor was worthy of public shaming, then it is an indictment on the society we live in, not on him.
Sorry but it will not Youngster because Feminists are useful idiots for our Corporate overlords and their minion, The State. Every "failed life grandmother" is one less cog not participating in the workforce consuming goods, services and taxed.AFS said:http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukn...her-elderly-grandmother-before-her-death.html

We need more feminists like this going public, so people can see what feminism is all about. Hating grandmothers, for one.
