I'm in a physical science field that is quite macho. It is great to hear that your boss was supportive of you.

Well, kudos to you for trying. I had exactly the same experience, where I was shocked that people were so hostile about the idea that this guy was doing anything wrong.

I am so glad to hear that. I did hear about the Yale situation, but I didn't really understand what the consequences were. I figured there would be a lot of fancy talk but little action.

Well, don't feel sorry for me because at least I ended up with a degree and a job. There really are so many women (and men) who don't. It makes ME angry and sad that they leave without a degree, so sapped of confidence.

I think people would be really surprised if they knew how common this kind of thing still is. There are so many companies and institutions that operate outside 2013-type regulations about equality and harassment.

Wasabi75, that is very useful to know. This was an Ivy-league school and the Ombudsperson (whose job was supposedly to be impartial) specifically told me that the school was not subject to the usual regulations. I should have followed it up at the time.

Out of at least 20 of this guy's female students over the years, only two (me and another woman0 finished. So good for me, but not good in general.

And the sad thing is that if Monica Burns had not smoothed it over, I bet there would have been people who would have called her uptight or a "feminazi' or whatever.

I did talk to the Ombudsperson and the Dean of Students. Not a good experience. They had the school's interests at heart and would have done zero if I had not threatened to help the reporter and take further action. They agreed to stop him from having female students for three years and to pay my moving expenses…

I'm afraid I'm very skeptical. According to the article, there have been rumors that he has behaved this way for years. So if he is "learning," he is doing so much too slowly.

My PhD advisor was (and still is) famous for sexually harassing female students. I'm not that old, so this didn't happen long ago.

I work as a professor and in industry, and I know of more students/graduates who have lost job offers because of online photos than I can remember. Among these are people whose exes or friends posted the photos. And people whose photos aren't even that bad (e.g., posing with a beer or people in racy Halloween…

You're missing the point. This is not about you and your attitudes. You may or may not feel it is normal to require workers to be available on Sundays and that it is shockingly awful to make kids work 16-hour days. In some countries, however, it is not normal or widely desired to work on Sundays, no matter what…

Corporations are trying to get it changed. Whether the people want it changed, I don't know. It is not up to us to decide for them.
