Description:
The paper investigates the differences between men and women as it relates to sexual harassment. The literature indicates that there are definite differences related to the reporting of sexual harassment as it relates to men and women. The literature suggests that the perceptions of gender roles play a major part in determining whether or not victims (male or female) report sexual harassment. The paper examines how women who report harassment are often viewed as troublemakers and men who report harassment are viewed as effeminate.

From the Paper:
"Sexual Harassment has long been associated with poor work performance and poor academic performance. The impact that sexual harassment has on its victims can be monumental. This is why reporting sexual harassment is so important. Over the years there has been a great deal of research conducted related to the factors that influence a person's decision to report sexual harassment. Most of this existing literature is related specifically to the factors that influence a women's decision to report sexual harassment. However in recent years there has been an increase in the number of men that report sexual harassment."Sample of Sources Used:
