Autocorrect. He actually meant to type "Photographically Current", as he was admiring the fact that she had clearly made use of the latest technology.

His follow up messages, "Will you consider a threesome with me and my daughter" and "I want to blast that fringe off with my salty load"... Have yet to be explained.

She said she was worried about the controversy damaging her career, calling the backlash she had experienced a “silencing mechanism”.

“It prevents people coming forward and reporting sexism and even sexual harassment,” she said.

Proudman was praised by Polly Sprenger, a barrister specialising in corporate and economic crime, who said: “It’s a brave and principled barrister who is prepared to put her personal position on the line to defend her opinion. It is not easy at the bar to take on a senior partner at a law firm who might have instructed you.

“The bar is a slow-moving aircraft carrier of a profession, and it is difficult to turn it around. She does everyone a favour by standing up to the kind of people who think that behaviour is acceptable.”

The barrister at the centre of a sexism storm after she objected to a solicitor’s “unacceptable and misogynist” comments on her LinkedIn profile says she has been overwhelmed by emails and tweets from other women reporting similar offensive behaviour in the workplace.

A report published by the bar council in July, examining the experience of self-employed female barristers, found that “experiences of inappropriate behaviour within the profession continue to exist”

“I think that too many men at the bar feel they are existing in a children’s playground,” one woman told the researchers. “They think they can say grossly disrespectful things because nobody is going to stop them and nothing is going to be said about it.”
