Woman says her senior manager often remarks “it’s better (for women) to have curves & meat” and keeps trying to matchmake her

SINGAPORE: A new female employee at a company took to Reddit, sharing about a senior manager making inappropriate comments about female bodies. She wondered if she was being overly sensitive.

In an anonymous post, the woman wrote: “He (elderly)commented things like it is better to have curves and meat for females (my body) (and inappropriate gesture like imitating a girl dances) during lunch. I just joined this month”. She added that he would also try to matchmake her with other male colleagues.

“Am I overly-sensitive? Or this is really scary. I am avoiding lunch everyday and scared of being alone with him. Please help me to think of excuses to avoid group lunch everyday. If I reported him, basically it means over for me. (SME)” the woman wrote.

Others in the comments section urged her to leave and said that because it was an SME, HR would unlikely do anything to resolve the matter.
