A state lawmaker from Brooklyn has canceled an event for women to learn "posture, deportment and the feminine presence."
Republican State Sen. Marty Golden sent out a mailing advertising the July 24 business etiquette event. His website said women would be taught to "sit, stand and walk like a model."
But Golden canceled the event Tuesday after critics said he was out of touch with the lives of working women.
"You would think he would be aware enough to realize stating something like that is insulting to women," said Julie Kirshner from the Brooklyn-Queens chapter of the National Organization for Women.
