Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is a serious issue in the work place. Although according to statistics it most of the time is only an issue among women. But the issue can also apply to men. I think that it is harder to prove that a woman is sexually harassing a man then it is for a woman to claim sexual harassment on a man. There should be a hotline for men to be able to call on how to deal or address the issue. Because I think that it is harder for a man to address the issue and come forward then it is for a woman just because of all the resources available to them. I know that the issue is embarrassing for women but I think that it is more so for a man. This is because a man is expose to be stronger than a woman and not as easily influenced or whatever. This happened to my self when I first entered the work field I was young and impressionable, it took a long time for me to confront the issue and even when I did I was encouraged by my own family to just quit the job and never go back. But I wasn’t encouraged to go beyond reporting it to the police and taking further action but rather to learn how to deal and cope with the emotions that I was experiencing for the first time.
