Hi, Yes, Margarita, I agree.
I haven't even finished reading the article yet, it's so long! It is US-centric, and blames the American culture as part of the problem, but unfortunately it's not that simple. I was trained as a physicist and I would be one of these French or Italian women wearing a nice skirt at the institute... So, maybe I should be grateful to my Latin culture for feeling that I could do that (?!?), but overall I think (well, based on my experience and some female friends') that the situation wrt sexual harassment is worse in Latin countries, although it's bad also in the US.
