Chuk the Teal s3 he Mountain at least that s their perception of the Situa health society or family service c i�7ifi.wfnt.rpns.s.nc. More and More women Are talking about it and saying wait a minute. I Don t have to tolerate this. It in t my fault and it in t my lot As a woman " says Martha Hooven a founder of Boston s Alliance against sexual coercion. Such groups say no working woman is immune and the toll is enormous. It s a lot like rape it s a Way of exerting Power Over a woman. It damages women the Way rape does they feel isolated guilty somehow responsible says Meyer. And it s a lot like wife beating he owns her so he can beat her adds Wui s Karen Sauvigne. Battered wives often stay because of economic need and it s time of women who Are harassed on the Job. How do you get another Job without references or explanation for leaving the last Job Wui is preparing a handbook to help women be cause says Meyer this is a Pivotal Issue in employ ment. A hostile environment wastes time and Energy it damages self esteem it kills ambition and Confidence. Most women begin to doubt they were promoted because they were Good at their jobs. It stunts for now a handbook can do Little beyond providing moral support Meyer says because most companies consider harassment a personal matter Between employees few have a formal procedure for lodging complaints and even fewer list sexual harassment As unacceptable behaviour in their employment guidelines. Hooven received a Call from the personnel director of an electronics company who said he had fired three women after they had lodged complaints against the same Guy. When he heard me talking on the radio he had second thoughts and called. Eventually he changed the person Nel guidelines and installed a grievance procedure but that kind of awareness is Wui says even if a company has no formal procedure a woman s first reaction should be to react Don t ignore advances in the Hope they la Stop because they usually get worse. If they persist after an emphatic refusal complain go to a supervisor talk with coworkers to see if it s happened to them. Take copious notes in Case you decide to go to court usually a last resort. If they can afford an attorney sometimes a Call from him to the company making angry noises about litigation will at least get them a lateral Transfer away from the Guy says Meyer. If not there s title Vii of the 1964 civil rights act which forbids Job discrimination on the basis of sex. Mary Heelan a 29-year-old project manager chose that route after she was fired by the Johns Manville corp. In 1974. Heelan s damage claims were settled out of court in june after a Federal judge found the company guilty of sex discrimination under title Vii because sexual favors were a condition of Heelan s employment. Heelan worked at Johns Manville in Denver from 1971 to 1974, rising from a Secretary to project manager. She says her Boss a Middle aged married Man used every conceivable ruse and argument to draw her into a sexual relationship. After she repeatedly rebuffed his advances he fired her. She sued in Federal court under title Vii and filed state claims of harassment mental suffering loss of career. The . District court ruled in her favor saying the company had discriminated against her and owed her damages. While she s glad she went to court Heelan says avoid it if possible. I Don t think the average person understands the kind of pressure there is in a suit like this she says. But i was Lucky. I had a husband to take care of me although financially things were particularly grim at first. They destroyed my career. But had i been single i think they literally would have destroyed crushed by women s lib for three Leafs As her Book jacket tells it Gittelson has been out there in the sexual wilderness of America interviewing hundreds of men Young and older straight and Gay Black and White men of All social and she visited their offices Rode in their taxicabs eaves dropped on their rap sessions. What she found was a huge casualty Ward i which not one male listed himself As uninjured by women s lib. I found this was a country of up women and Dow men Gittelson said. One Man said to me i once believed it feminism was a movement for Equality. But it s not. It s a Superior Ity movement he said women really want to be no.1. " that s the perception of men she said that women Are on the Way to becoming the admittedly her Survey was impressionistic with no statistical figures. A similarly conducted Survey was the basis of her previous Book the erotic life of the Ameri can wife. Dominus portrays a variety of disgruntled american men the pastor who sheepishly admits he resents his wife sitting in the daddy chair an executive who com Plains that his to producer wife has delusions of Gran Deur and a number of men who mutter about women Snew sexual demands. Impotence and homosexuality Gittelson concludes Are the end results of women s lib. An unfair conclusion some have already said so. They Point out that women still get smaller pay for equal work and Are far from dominant in business. Gittelson shrugs off those facts. Even though there May be a huge split in earning Power enormous strides have been made she said. She claims famous feminists Are her friends and denies she is advocating a return to the dark Ages of female subjugation. We can t turn Back she said. No woman in her right mind would ask that the rewards of the past 10 to 15 years be taken but she added women can take a breather now and ask what have i lost for what i have gained. There have been a lot of what should women do maybe she muses they should stay Home and have babies in their 20s, then pursue careers in their 30s. Of course she added quickly you d have to have a society that would Welcome women in their late 30s into a work Force where they Haven t been meanwhile she suggests a truce in which women Stop branding men male chauvinist pigs and worse. You have to go Back to Plato she said. What we need is a Middle ground a place where men and women can
