The net effect of all this is that men will not mentor female staff as before. It will have an overall negative effect on females in the workplace.
Paul Bedard:
“…The new numbers show that even among women the issue has plateaued.
Overall, 62 percent of adults believe sexual harassment is a “major problem.” That is down from 69 percent in 2017.
Among men, 53 percent see it as a major problem, down from 66 percent in October 2017.
For women, 70 percent call it a major problem, down from 73 percent in 2017.
While still in the minority, more also see that “people in the workplace are too sensitive” to the issue, said Gallup.
For men, 45 percent said people are “too sensitive,” while 46 percent said they aren’t “sensitive enough.” At the height of the movement, 54 percent said people were “not sensitive enough,” versus 33 percent who felt people were “too sensitive.”…”
