I hope this doesn't sound too snide, but it looks like it's a generational thing. [creaky old man voice :-) ] Back in my day, we believed in equality for women. Nowadays, all these young adults want women to stay at home, barefoot and pregnant. [old man voice off] Seriously, this study is rather disturbing, but does make sense. As someone a little over 40, and part of the Gen-Xers, I've been wondering for quite some time what all the hoopla about sexual harassment at work was about, because I never saw anything like it in the various different companies I worked at, big and small, except for one weird incident at a very small company in a rural area right out of college (and that was a manufacturing company, and the incident was involving non-college-educated hourly workers). I've said many times I thought it might be generational, but was always told "you don't know about it because you're not on the receiving end", even though many times these stories involve actions that are more overt and really are visible to other employees, and involve a culture of harassment (as Fowler described at Uber, with inappropriate stuff right in a meeting). And the whole "brogrammer" phenomenon is something that came well after I entered the workforce. So this article really makes sense to me and confirms my suspicions: the Millennials are more traditionalist than my generation, and also more susceptible to sexist behavior. So I'm sorry you've had to deal with that crap, but it does seem like things are getting worse in this society in these ways.
