Big Deal? Lawyer under fire for calling his daughter Smokin..Hot"

His daughter

Any problem with a dad calling his grown up daughter hot? Well,some think it's wrong! A city lawyer is under fire for calling his daughter hot and smoking ...Alexander Carter-Silk, 57 wrote on his daughter Ellie's Facebook photo ....

Whilst I should not encourage lascivious comments about my daughter ... Yeee gods she is hot!!"

He followed the comment,up with: "Smokin..... PhD?", a reference to her academic record...

His comments were brought to light after her was called out by human rights barrister Charlotte Proudman, 27,for calling her Linkedin picture stunning ..She shared a Linked-in message from him saying:

"Charlotte, delighted to connect, I appreciate this is probably horrendously politically incorrect but that is a stunning picture.”

Alexander was called out by Lawyer Charlotte for calling her Linkedin pic above stunning

She then released the messages online,calling him sexiest and saying his compliments offended her 

 It just shows the extent of sexism in the legal profession.It does appear to be very bad, particularly because it is male-dominated."

In an interview with Radio 5, Ms Proudman said many professionals used Linkedin like dating app Tinder and gave her reasons for posting Mr Carter-Silk's message.He has since apologised but she refused to accept it .
She said:

"It's not acceptable to objectify women because of their physical appearance.
"Initially I rolled my eyes and thought I'd delete it, then I looked at his profile and saw he was a senior legal professional.He should have thought about his actions before sending a sexist message to a 27-year-old barrister.
"It was a message sent to me and I have a right to expose it. If these people aren’t made to feel repercussions for actions, which are wrong, then their behaviour won’t change and the culture will remain incredibly sexist.”
