I found an interesting article today.  Women experience more sexual harassment in work groups with male, female balance.  I thought it was interesting because when I thought about it I assumed that a woman would be harassed more if she was the only woman because every man would notice her.  But the article said "There is a lot more opportunity in these groups because you have a lot of men who have contact on a regular basis with a lot of women, and that's going to great more opportunities for sexual harassment.  When women are less represented or when hey are mainly working with other women, there is simply not as much opportunity."  Their studies said that harassment happened when there were either a lot of women or very few women, but the highest numbers was when it was equal.  I just thought it was an interesting article since it proved what I thought wrong.
