The topics for this week were very interesting. I never really took the time to really take in consideration the women's workforce movement. Through watching the film I saw first hand what women experienced in the workplace. We now take advantage of the fact that if someone simply looks at us wrong we simply report them, back then they were groped and ridiculed and there weren't any laws or rules that prohibited this. Women in the workplace has increased tremendously after World War II, this was a time that placed woman's foot at the door of the paid labor force. This happening proved that women were also capable of preforming any type of work that ranged from housework to building aircrafts and tanks for the war.
The job of a housewife was a main priority for all women before the 20th century. Tending to their husbands and kids were the woman's main priorities. Now a day women are waiting o get married and have kids so it is necessary for them to work in order to keep afloat in today's world.
I still believe sexual harassment is a major issue in the workplace now. It is not as obvious as it use to be but it still does arise. Women are afraid to speak up and report any type of this wrongdoing. This happens because women are afraid to admit that this does happen and therefore if they report this they think they will loose their job or respect from their coworkers. Now a days sexual harassment not only comes form the opposite sex but also the same sex. People are being more open about their sexuality and this causes confusion in the workplace. Being open in your workplace about your sexuality is fine but hitting on your coworkers is still not right. Everyone should respect everyone else and the golden rule should always be followed.
