For @Boiler, your (almost) daily Daily Mail. I warn everyone that when you click through, there is a young woman in various revealing outfits, mostly swimwear.

A former Tory councillor was left outraged after a trendy gym chain tried to brush off a harassment complaint by saying men have 'high testosterone levels' while working out.

Elena Bunbury, 22, a former member of Holme Valley Parish Council, West Yorkshire, complained to GymBox after she and a friend were called 'pathetic' and mocked for using 'light' weights by a male gym-goer in the Stratford, east London, branch two weeks ago. 

Miss Bunbury, who now works for the Conservative party, outlined the issues in emails to GymBox. 

However she was left disappointed when an employee replied to say they had 'never had similar issues' and that it was simply down to testosterone levels.

Yes she has. Really quite unacceptable.

 

It's also not that long an article in terms of text, mostly pics of her barely contained by clothing and screenshots.

 

Edit: she's been harassed before, beyond the "Tory T###" jab that was thrown at her and the death threats and the outing as bisexual: https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/senior-yorkshire-tory-suspended-over-16748774

It is the DM, and to be fair any clothing would have a hard job containing that, reminds me of Big Julie who hailed from that area.

Well last I heard a long time ago she was a Lady Di look alike and doing quite nicely out of it.

It's okay. It's my thread, and I think my disorder may be contagious.
