Newsflash: sexual harassment of women is found in so many fields and career jobs I have lost count. Just try working around the broadcast or TV/video production industry. Most men think all you're good for is an assistant of some kind. Rough going there. Barry, most jobs that don't include taking dictation or getting someone coffee or sticking a thermometer in someone's mouth is rife with sexual discrimination of women. I know women truck drivers and heavy equipment operators who deal with it day in and day out as well. The philosophy 'world' is the least of it. >
