• LinkedIn lawyers: Did this man's weak sexism really warrant perv-shaming?

Earlier this year she used the left-wing website Left Foot Forward to explain that she was a campaigner for feminism, not equality, because: “Men live and work in a brutal society, which is maintained through stratified social order based on ritual humiliation, gentleman’s clubs, fights, rites of passage, sexism, and banter.
“When women enter the male realm whether law, politics, or a construction site, they find themselves in a repugnant world in which their only means of survival is by undergoing a fundamental transformation leaving them with little opportunity to make any change.”

What do you know perv shaming is actually a thing The torygraph article backs up Charlottes view brilliantly.

Here is an article where fat shaming is discussed, something that is frowned upon even though nobody is ever specifically targeted, if that's so acceptable then why is 'perv shaming' so unacceptable?
Is it really that different... women singled out for their looks as opposed to what's between their ears.
Could it be that the usual victims of fat shaming are women and the the 'victims' of perv shaming men? (I appreciate it sometimes works the other way around)
Fat shamers can shout from the rooftops as it's now socially acceptable to be #bodyconfident, why can't perv shamers be afforded the same courtesy to be #brainconfident and reject the accepted social norm of being objectified if you don't have a face like a bag of spanners.
