After years of being silent, women coming out many years later, accusing bosses and fellow employees of sexual harassment. Will two income family wives and single women employment opportunities decline?

Will women’s imaginations fuelled by poor memories turn mere office work place flirting into sexual harassment?

Old employer concerns about dual sex work places, decide future employment opportunities for women and probable hiring males with known male harassing women behaviours?

whether male or female we see a victim mentality today. Some males and some females will fabricate and lie in order to hold on to jobs they would normally disqualify themselves from. I have no doubt some women have prostituted themselves to get promotions and now cry wolf. On the other hand many men (especially Trump haters) have shown themselves to be pigs. I am not sure what is more vile, the Weistens or the vile militant man hating feminist. Pretty corrupt world we live in. Under secularism with no moral compass it can only get more filfthy

Can working women hold on to employment by accusing male workers of harassment?

Yes.

Hi Is Mise,

But it could be extremely difficult for them, in a multitude of ways, for a long time, in the face of bureaucratic inertia and power structures.

The control environment is set from the top. Also, behaviour generalises.

Where for example, a grub can repeatedly offend against children and over years, as occurred in the case of Jimmy Saville and the BBC, it is very likely indeed that there is other corruption occurring, such as the (very common) conversion of the organisations' assets to private use and another, favouritism in appointment, promotions and conditions of service.

It suits the tabloid media and some predictable elements to portray sexual harassment as a male abuse of power against women. However that trivialises what is really going on and ensures that while there is the occasional scalp for that particular offence, the far greater problem of abuse of position and power to the detriment of the organisation and shareholders (taking the public as the shareholders in public bodies) continues.

There is nothing like having an effective audit committee (with outside appointments), a program including comprehensive audits and publication of audit reports to deter offenders and to ensure that robust and effective controls are in place and working.

It is the absence of these and particularly an environment where audit is belittled and seen as the enemy by management that is the red flag that something nasty is going on. An audit program would be noticeably incomplete if the organisation's cub-contractor and outsourced functions are not included.

Last sentence, should be 'sub contractor'. An example might be a private company or individual providing comment or programs to a TV channel, where it should be held to the same charter of conduct as the channel's staff.
