Sexual harassment and blatant sexism plague women everywhere. It also doesn't matter how you act, what you wear, or whether you're married or single, either. Women are oft.en subjected to demeaning, cruel and ugly remarks aimed to embarrass and humiliat.e them. The question of how to react when one becomes a victim of these sometimes seemingly-harmless in cident.e proves to be an unsolvable problem. Some women choose t.o ignore and dismiss comments they find offensive; however, that can encourage the perpetrat.or to become even more insulting. Some women fight back with angry words or equally-biting insults. But that too can be a prob lem, because then they are likely to be labeled prudes, bitche!'!,or at the very least, women with no sense of humor. As more and more women enter the workp1ace, the many facets of sexism are being exposed and an awareness is seeping through, causing women t;o rea1ize that some things have got t.o change. Unfortunately, itoftentakes drastic measures to effect a little change. · Dr. Frances Conley, neurosurgeon and tenured professor ofStanford University, took such~ drastic measure and quit her job after spending 25 years building her career at Stanford.
