He sent them to dozens of colleagues so that tells us he felt comfortable enough to do so. He was pushed to resign, but I wonder what kind of environment it is for any women working there, or anyone really. These types rarely feel bold enough to spew out their shit unless their “colleagues” nod along.
Rob Rakochey, who was awarded a King's counsel (KC) title in March in recognition of his contributions to the legal community, resigned this week from his partnership at Field Law, the firm confirmed Thursday.
His age isn't mentioned, but given his long years of practice, he's at least 60, or close to. Neither is there any mention of past problematic behavior, which could provide some useful context for such a blatantly unprofessional message. But given his high status within his profession, I have a hard time believing that he was normally given to such glaring public displays of inappropriate behavior that could torpedo his career.

This sounds to me like someone whose filters dropped, so either late-stage alcoholic who has completely lost control of his addiction or early stages of dementia/Alzheimer's.

Or a case of MAGA. A lot of oler white males are taking the opportunity to "stop being politically correct" and "own the libs" after being radicalized by right wing media.

Couldn’t choose which part to quote.


In recent years an anti-feminist movement has surged, led by disillusioned young men, who argue they have been disadvantaged by attempts to improve women’s lives.
Last month, another Seoul councillor in his 60s published a series of articles on the authority’s website encouraging young women to take up gymnastics and practise pelvic floor exercises in order to raise the birth rate.

At the same time, a government think tank recommended that girls start school earlier than boys, so that classmates would be more attracted to each other by the time they were ready to marry.

The comments… 😂

It's honestly really sad since he looks like he's a pretty dude who would probably be horrified at the label "pretty" because his brain has been rotted by toxic masculinity.

I don't dare hope it will get passed, but would be nice... I frankly think this is evidence Biden is disconnected from reality. Much like his belief he would have beaten Trump.
Anything that might further clog up the mismatched, broken tooth wheels of the Trump administration is a win for me.

I disagree. I think Biden is very well grounded in reality. I see this announcement as a huge middle finger to the conservatives in the Supreme Court and Congress, with a taunt, "Go ahead, I double-dog dare you to argue that women don't have equal rights in the US!"
