The second statistic says it's about "unwanted sexual advances", not "sexual harassment". Not being interested isn't the same as being sexually harassed.
Edit: The way the page is written makes it hard to understand what most of it actually means, but if I interpret it correctly 50% of 65% of 60% received sexual advances from a superior more than once. So about 20% had experience of a boss failing to take a hint.
- cmdkeen 11y agoUnwanted sexual advances "from a superior" is the bit that makes it harassment. You can ask out a co-worker but you don't ask out people where there is a power imbalance in the relationship, it's not rocket science.

- cmdkeen 11y ago"The owner of the company I work for approached me in the car park and asked me to dinner, it made me feel incredibly uncomfortable and I felt my career depending upon saying yes" "The owner of the company I work for approached me in the car park and asked me to dinner, I said to ask again nearer the time" Fortunately for Bill Melinda went with option 2. Had she gone with option 1... Unfortunately the problem is that it relies on the other person, which is why many places have policies about this sort of thing.
