I guess you didn't know about this subject. Well, that's how many of us do not. And you might be surprised, but many of us were raised by our parents to believe it was customary to see women harassing other women, and so many of us are suffering the consequences.
I am
writing this article to educate myself regarding this topic. If you've read
this, maybe you can help provide some insight or information as to why this
happens. By reading this article, you will understand the reasons behind this
issue and will gain a better understanding of what to avoid or prevent from
occurring. There are ways to reduce this, so don't think twice before doing so.
The
number of women harassers is increasing in Europe compared to Asian regions. Even
though there's more awareness of such issues, sometimes these things go
unnoticed by women. But it is pervasive for girls to feel ashamed of telling
their peers about such actions. It is a sad truth but sadly still has to be
accepted. Although most of them don't realize it and don't let anyone know what
they're up to until it becomes apparent later on.
Women
Harassers Definition
In the
United States, people say that "women harassers" are the same as
women bullying. Meaning it's just one word different, right? Wrong. Some people
forget that all the terms used in the above definition refer to men; even a
girl who acts like a harassed woman would not get any help. Why does she have
to be labeled a bully so much? According to Psychology Today, women can be victims
of sexual harassment and violence. As a result, women have made several
attempts to report situations or issues related to harassment. And the problem
with reporting it is that people don't want to hear from women, especially when
it comes to being female in the workplace. So many times, women are silenced
when they speak up about issues and don't feel safe speaking up about things.
They get criticized by their colleagues since they've reported something, or
maybe because they feel offended by what they said.
According
to Psychology Today, women harassers often act out of control if they want to,
or their mind is running away, and they are not thinking correctly. You're
pretty sure that you're not the only one that's been harassed once, and never
have you thought that you'd have to deal with the situation again. This kind of
mentality may seem funny but can make someone lose hope about ever coming
forward about the issue in the first place. And in some worst cases of women
harassers, the victims are forced to leave the workplace without any
compensation or compensation.
Women
Harassers Causes
According
to Psychology Today, many people will see women harassing from another angle to
make some point. Sometimes they'll use words that aren't appropriate and others
for no real reason at all. According to Psychology Daily, women can be
subjected to such incidents because the victim will feel embarrassed because
they're seen as a man or a woman. A woman harassed in public should not be
treated like that. She should be respected for her personality and her opinion.
Also, according to Psychology Today, those victims of harassment are usually
afraid to be identified with whatever may happen next. So, they try to hide
from the world, hoping to forget about the incident. For example, even though
women who harass women tend to be comfortable in crowded spaces, victims of
harassment must keep reminding themselves that they're being followed or
watched by outsiders.
The
last cause was by men. As a result of this, men are likely to be harassed too.
Men can also harass women for no reason and, if anything, can be sexually
assaulted by women, making it more difficult for them to come forward. The most
common cause is bullies. Most people consider harassment to be more than just
negative behavior. However, many men have little or no knowledge of what
harassment is. As a general rule, it involves aggression. . If the person being
bullied becomes aggressive or tries to hurt you, it is bullying. We need to
create a healthy environment where we can learn from each other and respect
each other's values and beliefs. Yes, that means showing kindness, but not when
it is done after being hurt. Remember that your value doesn't change.
Risk
Factors
It's
estimated that around 1-3% of women have been harassed. But according to
Psychology Today, the number of women victimized is five times higher,
according to some statistics. That implies that we still have some way to go,
and there's a high possibility that this issue won't go away anytime soon.
Unfortunately, this problem is happening now and will continue to remain the
same unless people start doing something to fix this. What could you do if you
happened to get this kind of treatment? Well, it depends on your situation. Do
you want to be seen as a coward or a hero? Or do you want to be ignored? Maybe
you'd rather stay silent than face the consequences. Either way, you can't
ignore what the consequences will be if you ever feel ashamed. Maybe you don't
think those consequences can go as far as physically harming you or putting
your life in danger.
