This is actually a misconception that occurs occasionally, which often leads to the marginalization of individuals who are affected by it. In the US in 2009, 16% of sexual harassment charges in the workplace were filed by men[1]; an earlier telephone poll in 2008 indicated that half of sexual harassment reported by males was from males, the other half from females.[2] Don Armstrong 1: http://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/statistics/enforcement/sexual_harassment.cfm 2: http://www.sexualharassmentsupport.org/SHworkplace.html -- Everyone has to die. And in a hundred years nobody's going to inquire just how most people died. The best thing is to do it in the way that strikes your fancy most. -- Kenzaburō Ōe _Silent Cry_ p5 http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-women-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
