Sexual Harassment

Sexual harassment is most significantly an appearance of dominance relations.


Women are significantly more susceptible to be victims of sexual harassment accurately
because they need power more than men, and are in more defenseless and precarious
places need fearlessness, or have been correlated to remain still. I think this issue is the
closest to my heart as most people, including myself, have experienced this or even
until now, it does not really stop. Having an activity to write a position paper like this
gives me an opportunity to learn more regarding this gender issue, to further research
about its details and to broaden my knowledge. Additionally, by discussing sexual
harassment in this course, it causes public mindfulness about rape and teach
communities and people the most proficient method to forestall sexual violence..

According to James K. Beggan (2019), "Although certain men in authority were


the most direct and obvious examples of the abuse of power, there were other ways in
which leadership. Power, and authority were involved in the phenomenon of sexual
harassment." This new type of the maltreatment of dominance was to utilize the danger
of the perils of sexual harassment to mount an assault on sexuality itself. The objective
was not simply to dispense sexual harassment you sent from the working environment.
It was to take out sex from the working environment, even sexual articulation that would
not have established a legitimate meaning of sexual harassment

Sexual harassment is a feminist issue not because it is sexual but because it


disadvantages women (Gallop, 1997), since harassment makes it harder for women to
acquire a livelihood, women's activists announced it as a type of discrimination against
women. This outlining was convincing to the point that inside a couple of years,
harassment was added to the legitimate meaning of sex discrimination. Considering that
discrimination based on sex was unlawful already, whenever harassment was
incorporated inside the classification of discrimination, it promptly turned into an offense
against the law. Sexual harassment is immoral not on the grounds that it is sex but
since it is discrimination

Wasti et al. (2000) concluded that "sexual harassment is related to deterioration


in the quality of life of working women in different cultures. "Sexual harassment harms
the situation for all, It might likewise contrarily influence men who do not harass in the
work environment. In numerous regions of the world, in any case, women have truly
been seen as inconsistent to men in the work environment. Frequently, when females in
such social orders join labor force, men feel undermined. Studies have demonstrated
that the sexual harassment of women by men is regularly an endeavor by men to keep
women in their place.
As to where I stand, it is apparent that women are always at a disadvantage
because of male superiority, dominance, and privilege; I am not protecting my fellow
women just because I am a woman too, but because gender inequality is noticeable.
Specifically, sexual harassment has not stopped yet for the reason that our society still
follows the traditional beliefs that women are born with inferior status. What women feel,
may they be uncomfortable because of non-verbal sexual harassment, is still valid. On
the other hand. "Some" men who tolerate sexual harassment deserve to be punished, it
could be the law or karma that could attack them anytime as long as they live.

Sexual harassment is a serious issue that affects individuals of all genders, ages,
and backgrounds. It can have serious consequences for the victim and create a toxic
and unhealthy environment for everyone involved. It is important for society to recognize
and address sexual harassment in order to create a safe and respectful environment for
all individuals. By speaking out against sexual harassment and supporting victims, we
can work towards a more equitable and just society.
