I am a 53 year old woman who has worked in the Metropolitan Police (London UK) for the past 31 years. In an MST meeting with my male boss today discussing an operational meeting I am attending on his behalf. After running through a few things he concluded, ‘So not much for you to do, just turn up and look pretty’. After I picked myself off the floor I drafted an email to him which will be sent. Staggering that he thinks to use this language is ok at all, but especially in the light of the Sarah Everard case & the necessary focus on toxic male culture in the police.
