\"Sexharass\"<\/a> Probably not a big surprise to many readers out there that female supervisors are still harassed in large numbers, but the fact that this study show that they are harassed more than non-supervisor female employees is just a little surprising to me (via MSNBC<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Female managers are 137 percent more likely to experience sexual harassment than their rank-and-file counterparts, according to a recently released study.<\/p>\n

Even Heather McLaughlin, a sociologist at the University of Minnesota and the primary investigator on the study, was surprised by the findings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s sort of a paradox,\u201d she says. \u201cYou would expect that having that status and power over other employees would protect you from that behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n

Turns out it doesn\u2019t, and McLaughlin\u2019s conclusion is that \u201cbecause of gender norms, people are still not accepting women in power positions.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The report, \u201cA Longitudinal Analysis of Gender, Power and Sexual Harassment in Young Adulthood,\u201d looked at data that tracked nearly 600 individuals from adolescents into their 30s.<\/p>\n

Perhaps men are further aroused by women in power or more likely, enjoy the thrill of bringing a women in power down to their own base level. In any event, sexual harassment training, which traditionally separates out rank-and-file workers from supervisors, probably should be modified to take this new phenomenon into account.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
