AP-NORC/SAP Poll: Some Workers Changing Actions Amid #MeToo

Associated Press

   WASHINGTON - Barbara Myers started work as an apprentice electrician in
   1995, and over the years she learned to shoot back sexual banter on the
   job site as much as she had to take it from some of her coworkers.

   Those days, she says, are starting to change.

   "I have worked over the last several years, actually, to really be much
   more circumspect in my conversation," Myers said. "And so, basically, I
   don't talk about things like that. And I know a lot of the guys are the
   same way."
   Surveys show an increasing number of male managers are uncomfortable
   working closely with women since a string of prominent men lost their
   jobs after being accused of sexual misconduct. The #MeToo movement
   launched two years ago this month after accusations against Hollywood
   producer Harvey Weinstein went public. Since then, people have shared
   their stories of sexual assault and harassment online. VOA's Dora
   Mekouar takes a look at what some are calling the "Me-Too backlash."
