A woman's perspective in male dominated occupation. TRIGGER WARNING!
I truly believe that the rate of SHARP incidents has lessened. However, I think the sensitivity of the subject has skyrocketed, triggering the astounding rate of reporting. Personally, we are all taught to understand and be aware of our environment and the people in it. I share colorful jokes with the best of them and laugh at the rest. If you are not me, have the fortitude and professionalism to address it like an adult. We have built a culture where no one needs to face anyone anymore. We can anonymously accuse without any repercussions and spend even less brain cells to the 2nd and 3rd order of effects on the person we accuse. Men also. TRANS issues has worsened the environment of hyper sensitivity.
Point Blank PERIOD. If your privates are so far up your throat you cannot be an adult and tell someone to shut up (professionally of course) then you have no business working in any professional setting. We see too many vindictive people do the wrong thing and too many good people forever screwed.
