More people would encourage girls to do "boyish" things than
Would encourage boys to do "girly" things.

Summary

In summary, this article was about how society pressures women into a submissive role as a part of the workforce. Women are pressured to be in touch with their feelings, while men are pressured to not show their feelings.

Sexual harassment is for men to suppress women, and not for lust reasons.

When the artical was created, women at work was new and scary for men, so they tried to make women fear going to work.

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"

The odds are often stacked in the men's favour, so women were somewhat afraid of going against the odds.

"Raising awareness among men could be more important than women complaining"

The harasser mostly has some some sort of power over
The victim.

Credibility issues can effect how sexual harassment is dealt
With.

A lot of the time, sexual harassment isn't stopped because
The harasser is important to a persons life, as a boss

Their daughters into the workforce.

Bro talk happens between groups of men where

Backs.

"bro talk" happens everywhere, and even unassuming
Participants can participate (like young teenagers
Playing 'Hot or Not'".
