Kayleigh Hunter-Law, a virtual assistant, posted about receiving her "first LinkedIn perv" — a man named Frank who messaged her out of nowhere: "Kayleigh your a is fine."
Her post hit 38 comments and went viral for a reason. LinkedIn is a professional network. It is not Tinder. It is not a bar at 9pm.
Women on LinkedIn face this constantly — unsolicited comments about their appearance, their bodies, or their relationship status, disguised behind the cover of a "professional" platform.
Frank's name was blurred. But the behaviour is everywhere. If you have received messages like this, report the profile. No one should have to tolerate harassment while trying to work.
