In Tackling #MeToo, Don’t Ignore Micro-Insults That Harm Women’s Careers
Abstract
The Harvey Weinstein horror show has brought attention to previously unspoken abuses of male power to sexually harass and suppress women. Prominent women are joining the #MeToo moment, feeling safety in numbers as they reveal facing egregious bullying. Businesses are reacting by firing the worst offenders and beefing up formal channels for complaint.
Will that be enough to create positive work environments?
