Can a man call a woman pretty?

Apr 5 2013 3:00 PM

The president of the Unites States, President Obama, called California attorney general Kamala Harris the "best-looking attorney general". See:

He is getting a lot of criticism for it. The remark is called sexist. He is also being accused of making a pass for her. I don't think he is making a pass for her. I think he is just giving her a compliment. I appreciate President Obama doing it. I think there is nothing wrong with it.

I feel like saying that Preeti Dwivedi is a pretty young woman but I am afraid she would not appreciate it. Is it wrong to simply state the truth?

What do you think?
