Topic	Virgin trains offend femminists with sexist tweet.
UnfairRepresent 01/02/18 1:40:27 PM #1:	Virgin Trains have apologised after responding to a complaint about sexism by being even more sexist. Passenger Emily Cole says her perfectly reasonable customer service query was dismissed by a Virgin Trains manager who called her honey. The passenger said the encounter was hideously patronising and made her shudder. To make the entire thing worse, when Emily reported the incident to Virgin Trains on Twitter, whichever genius was manning the social media account asked if she would prefer pet or love next time? Emily responded: Wonderful to see that @virgin_trainsEC take complaints of rude and misogynistic behaviour seriously. Stunned. Virgin Trains have now deleted their offensive reply and apologised for the entire embarrassing gaffe. Man lost eight stone after ditching daily diet of 5,000 calories and five Red Bulls A statement from the firm says: We apologise unreservedly for this tweet and any offence that it may have caused. To avoid causing more offence we have deleted the original post. Emily, who was on a busy train from Edinburgh to Kings Cross in London, told Metro.co.uk: They told us theyd all made a mistake and we had to move to try and find seats with all our luggage in the packed train. The first person to check my ticket was very abrasive. His response to my explaining the situation (politely and honestly) and that I wanted to complain was you go ahead honey. In the context and given his aggressive tone I can only assume he didnt like being (politely!) challenged by a woman it felt like a punch in the face. I tweeted Virgin and their response was patronising and belittling just the behaviour I was complaining about. And would they tweet that to a guy? Nope.
