> Why are most of these articles about harassment in the office associated with American companies? Are women from other countries afraid to speak about this? Or are American women just overreacting?
There's some other possibilities too, like it's worse in America than in other countries.

- Blackthorn 10y agoThat's fine, but it's completely wrong for the poster to present this as a binary choice when it's anything but.
- Razengan 10y agoHow bad is it there? Care to share?
- chris_7 10y agoNothing to share on companies, but women couldn't even vote everywhere in Switzerland until 1991. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appenzell_Innerrhoden https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appenzell_Innerrhoden
- jessaustin 10y agoI can confirm that several nations in Asia also don't treat women employees better than they're treated in USA. b^)

- innocentoldguy 10y agoI don't know. I haven't been everywhere, of course, but I have traveled extensively for my job, and I think American women have it pretty sweet in the workplace. If they were in Japan, for example, they'd probably be fetching tea all day and getting groped; if not at the office, on the train ride home. I've seen women objectified and discriminated against a lot more abroad than I have in the U.S.
- Johnny555 10y ago"It's worse in other countries" doesn't mean it can't be better here.
- droopyEyelids 10y agoAmerica is probably one of the most sexist and racist countries on the planet. You simply don't hear about other countries experiencing these problems! Maybe some people will share personal anecdotes, but does it constantly make the news elsewhere?
