Have you ever witnessed someone in a workplace setting being abused sexually due to their type of sex? The majority of people who work in offices and workplace settings have said that they have witnessed first-hand harassment of the female sex from the more dominated male sex (Johnson).

First, as a couple of decades ago, woman were seen to only stay in the kitchen and not leave the house to go to work. As the country has been modernized over the years, it has been more acceptable to see a woman in the workplace and actually be the breadwinner of a normal household. The article “Different by Equal? Inequalities In the Workplace, The Nature-Based Narrative, And The Title VII Prohibition On The Masculinization Of The ‘Ideal Worker’” written by Kristin Housh actually states, “Women 's labor force participation increased from 43.3% in 1970 to 59.2% in 2010.” This means as the years have passed more and more woman are entering the workforce than ever before.

If the employer was successful in destroying all of the sexual harassment in the workplace, then it will be a completely safe environment that all women and men can work peacefully without any exchanges that are aimed at one’s certain sex.

With this happening, more woman with better credentials are entering and staying in the workforce compared to 30 years ago (Johnson). Due to this more and people are viewing sexual harassment as bad and are becoming more and more sensitive to it. This will, hopefully lead to the
