People are typically embarrassed to admit these things even happen so that’s why they don’t get reported…you’d be embarrassed too if it happened to you. That’s the nature of it. It’s uncomfortable and embarrassing in the extreme.
Anyways one aspect of this I always think of is how the maritime industry gets singled out. This type of harassment is just as rampant in say a camp of rig hands, a structural steel shop, a refinery, or a military outpost. All of these are “crude” working areas where sexual harassment, hazing, rough language and even assault to other workers is done all the time. It’s not right but it is the truth. I think ladies need to understand what they are getting into. We are just now facing the fact that in 2020 women are harassed just as badly in the US military as they were in 1985…the one place where they have been working for decades with mandatory education to root it out. That’s telling.
