"bro talk" happens everywhere, and even unassuming
Participants can participate (like young teenagers
Playing 'Hot or Not'".
Bro talk tends to objectify women
Bro talk happens between groups of men where
They talk about sexual harassment behind people's
Backs.
Bro talk can make people afraid of letting
Their daughters into the workforce.
There is a lot of injustice in workforces.
3. Why People Doubt Sexual Harassment
A lot of the time, sexual harassment isn't stopped because
The harasser is important to a persons life, as a boss
People dealt with sexual harassment in different ways,
Some people would try to power through their day, and
Some would become a sad or angry.
People tend to trust people in power over someone accusing
Them of rape/sexual harassment.
Credibility issues can effect how sexual harassment is dealt
With.
The harasser mostly has some some sort of power over
The victim.
2. It's About Power, not Lust
"Raising awareness among men could be more important than women complaining"
The odds are often stacked in the men's favour, so women were somewhat afraid of going against the odds.
Jobs that are held mainly by men (like machinists) are particularly bad for women, because men feel especially territorial and try harder to get the women away from "their jobs"
When the artical was created, women at work was new and scary for men, so they tried to make women fear going to work.
Sexual harassment is for men to suppress women, and not for lust reasons.

Answering questions
The author cites a lot of information from the Pew Research Center. All of the information in the article is derivrd from
Surveys taken by the Pew Research Center.
Something that makes me unhappy is that people believe
That masculinity is more important than femininity, and so
More people would encourage girls to do "boyish" things than
Would encourage boys to do "girly" things.
Something that surprised me when I first read this article
Was that men felt pressured to join in with male coworkers who are harassing a female coworker.
The article outlines that society has pressured
Men and women into powerful and submissive
Roles, respectively. Women feel pressured to
Be attractive and emotional, whereas men are
Pressured to be wealthy and to hide their emotions.
