Harassment in the workplace
January 24, 2007
We won’t be discussing workplace issues for a few weeks yet but ran across this article in The Star: it makes some perhaps surprising claims about sexual harassment in the workplace and who are most often targeted. The full article is here (Winter 2007 issue; p. 46).

I find it interesting to know that not the typical female traits such as: vulnerable, fragile and girly are not the causes of sexual harassment. I never considered before that it is more often the women with more masculine traits who get sexual harassed. It makes a lot of sense to know this but I find the media portrays a different outlook on sexual harassment, in movies it is usually the big boss seducing the beautiful secretary.

Yes, it goes against the common assumption that harassment is about sexual attraction, and indicates that it is sometimes a lot more about hostility than it is about desire.
