Amongst the valid claims of real harassment there are always cases like this. It is difficult to classify though because of the emotionally charged nature of the topic. There is little to gain in doing so, and in some cases it's even discouraged.
- beat 8y agoNon-reporting is far more extensive than over-reporting, in my experience. We saw this a lot during the #metoo movement - women talking about experiences they had never shared before, often out of fear for their own jobs or safety.
- matte_black 8y agoNon-reported over-reports are pretty extensive too...
- olavk 8y agoHow do you know? Not disputing your claim, just curious where you get your numbers.
- olavk 8y agoCases like this? What makes you think the cases described here are not "real"?
- matte_black 8y agoCases that the parent was talking about.
- olavk 8y agoYes I understand that, but... what cases? The comment at the top of this thread states "if a professor criticizes a woman's paper, she might interpret that as an attack on her gender, even if it isn't" - but this sounds like pure speculation, not like a reference to any real known case. I mean...you can imagine all kinds of things, but you can't really counterbalance documented cases of harassments with imaginary cases. But apparently, people in this sub-thread are much more gravely concerned about these apparently imaginary cases of overly-sensitive women, rather than the very real documented cases of harassment.
