"A male member said it was very nice and she complained publicly. The dilemma is that women still look and dress as attractively as possible but the male sex now is required never to notice or comment."

Alexander Carter-Silk was named and shamed on Twitter by the human rights lawyer and apologised to her after she posted her reply to his message online.
