More LinkedIn users come forward to share inappropriate messages

Last week everyone had an opinion on Alexander Carter-Silk’s LinkedIn message to Charlotte Proudman.

Other women have now come forward with similar stories. Designer Amy Hanbidge Tweeted a message from an ‘advertising entrepreneur’ which read: “Got a boyfriend?”
