    Men Facing Increased Sexual Harrasment at Work


    From Uutiset.com:

    Men Facing Increased Sexual Harrasment at Work

    One out of eight Finnish men has been sexually harassed by
    women during the past two years. In the case of under
    35-year-olds, the number is one in five. Data published in the
    syndicated Väli-Suomen newspaper Sunday supplement is based
    on information from the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health.

    International research shows sexual harassment experienced by
    men has increased in recent years. A police survey reveals one
    out of five men have experienced sexual harassment at work.
    One-third of women have experienced sexual harassment in the
    work place.

    Defining and identifying sexual harassment has been problematic. New legislation on equality, which came into force in June, defines harassment as unwanted touching in addition to verbal teasing and licentious gestures.

    According to the newspaper report, men find it difficult to report sexual harassment due to their role. It is often the subject of humour because there is always a man who welcomes harassment.

    Re: Men Facing Increased Sexual Harrasment at Work

    Statistics don't lie... (as long as they aren't from women's studies)
    Anyway, sexual harrasment by females is (unless the burden of proof is too large) ignored or minimalized with the typical claims that it's just a joke, not harmfull, not intended and whatever else you can think of.

    I talked about something like this with my father once... he mentioned literally that if a woman actually would touch me (e.g. pinch my butt) he could actually laugh about it, no problem at all. On the contrary if some guy would even whistle to my sister he would get pissed, brand him and tell them they are out of their minds.

    And so there are many more who act and think like that.

    Of course, we always have to be reminded, that wimmin ALWAYS have it worse, don't they?!

    Picture this scenario,
    A woman in an office situation, pinches the backside of a male co-worker.
    The male then slaps the woman across the face, because of it.
    Now, who do you think will be charged first?
