Science Has a Sexual Assault Problem
cold fjord writes: Phys.org reports, "The life sciences have come under fire recently with a study published in PLOS ONE that investigated the level of sexual harassment and sexual assault of trainees in academic fieldwork environments. The study found 71% of women and 41% of men respondents experienced sexual harassment, while 26% of women and 6% of men reported experiencing sexual assault. The research team also found that within the hierarchy of academic field sites surveyed, the majority of incidents were perpetrated by peers and supervisors. The New York Times notes, "Most of these women encountered this abuse very early in their careers, as trainees. The travel inherent to scientific fieldwork increases vulnerability as one struggles to work within unfamiliar and unpredictable conditions."
I can't think of a single profession which doesn't seem to have a "problem." Makes one wonder.
If you were me, you'd be good lookin'. - six string samurai
Did not this exact same study get a piece on slashdot a few months ago when it was published?
they will always find some issue to bash men with.
Maybe it's just the case of these people not really groking human interaction.
Where can "sexual assault" be defined as "an offensive comment"?
"I find this highly... Illogical."
BTW: What's with the adverb, Spock? A thing is in the category of logical distribution, or it is not. The presumption "Highly" is an illogical value judgement.
"Flyin' in just a sweet place,
Never been known to fail..."
"Science" doesn't have a problem. It merely has more data points to analyze.
I've got to think that women are more likely to actually report sexual harassment than men are. Probably wouldn't make up the entire difference, but would still be something to think about.
"Science" vs. "fieldwork". Given that the latter involves travel away from familiar environments, I can see how would-be predators are emboldened.
This doesn't make it right, of course, but I'm not sure how to deal with it. Maybe team-building isolation exercises conducted in controlled environments during the application process? See who doesn't play well with the rest and junk them. It seems to work for NASA, who I would imagine are the experts in "[working] within unfamiliar and unpredictable conditions".
The study the level of sexual assault of trainees in academic fieldwork environments... was 26% of women and 6% of men reported experiencing sexual assault. According to a study by the CDC, 51.9 percent of surveyed women and 66.4 percent of surveyed men said they were physically assaulted as a child by an adult caretaker and/or as an adult by any type of attacker. More than half (54 percent) of the female rape victims identified by the survey were younger than age 18 when they experienced their first attempted or completed rape. Violence against women is primarily intimate partner violence: 64.0 percent of the women who reported being raped, physically assaulted, and/or stalked since age 18 were victimized by a current or former husband, cohabiting partner, boyfriend, or date. In comparison, only 16.2 percent of the men who reported being raped and/or physically assaulted since age 18 were victimized by such a perpetrator. Study: https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles...

I have had a coworker years ago said she was offended because men pay attention to the pretty office admin instead of her. So she got upset and tried to claim sexual harassment in the office. Though no one would ever do anything since the office admin was the owners daughter.

Yes cause 'till we reach 50% in sexual harassment reports and in every other thing of life we are not happy.
Cause there surely must be discrimination and discrimination is bad, a fascist state that has laws to control every aspect of life is good and solves the discrimination problem, that surely exist, or else women would be have a penis and be men.
They are also being entertained at conferences by a lot of vendors with fat wallets. To say beer flows like water at some of these events is an understatement to say the least. It isn't hard to see how this can lead to sexual assault as well. It of course in no way justifies it, but the culture doesn't impede it very well, either.
who do you think invented date rape drugs?
Its probably shit.
I wonder who profits off of this bullshit?
2) If the men have a significant response rate, then just maybe that means the problem is YOUR QUESTION IS TOO VAGUE, rather than both genders experiencing sexual issues.
The mere fact that this article claims that 40+% of men experience 'sexual harassment', proves that their definition of 'sexual harassment' is not reasonable - the kind of thing only a PC fool trying to prove a problem exists would use.
Similarly, 6% of men experience sexual assault seems on the high side, though not as ridiculous as the 41% claiming harassment.
The only thing going on here is idiots using bad definitions for their poll.

Regurgitating news over the same study published in July.
http://science.slashdot.org/story/14/07/16/2130242/sexual-harassment-is-common-in-scientific-fieldwork
Phrasing of the questions in a survey is important to fully understanding the problem that is being examined. Here are the study questions. Two of the most relevant questions are these:
32. Have you ever personally experienced inappropriate or sexual remarks, comments about physical beauty, cognitive sex differences, or other jokes, at an anthropological field site?
39. Have you ever experienced physical sexual harassment, unwanted sexual contact, or sexual contact in which you could not or did not give consent or felt it would be unsafe to fight back or not give your consent at an anthropological field site?
The PLOS ONE document itself is very thorough, and worth reading through to more fully understand the issue.

Well, if they're like Mr. Nash in the movie A beautiful mind - then I can sort of see this as a problem.
He basically asks the girl to simply skip the pleasant introduction, courting etc. and just go for the sex.

Mit der Dummheit kämpfen Götter selbst vergebens
I rather object to the title, Science doesn't have a problem with anything.....science is a tool. Some scientists, on the other had, very much seem to have a problem.
"First they came for the slanderers and i said nothing."
The article looks at field work, not science as a whole. The results are self-reported, not verified or verifiable. And "harassment" and "assault" are defined so broadly that many normal day-to-day interactions can fall under them. In short, there is no evidence that "science has a sexual assault problem" in any standard meaning of those words.
Much as feminists and other progressives like to establish such a principle, in reality, just because you feel uncomfortable or believe that something was inappropriate doesn't mean anybody has actually done anything wrong.

Since sexual harrassment has been extended to "disagreeing" or providing factual counterpoints to an argument....
Looking at questions 32-35 in the online survey, question 32 suggests a variety of encounters one of which is referred to as harassment, then retroactively describes them all as harrassment in question 35. It is entirely possible respondents interpreted this series of questions differently than the survey creators. The criterion for harassment is the EEOC guide http://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/sexual_harassment.cfm, but respondents were not informed of that either. Whether or not respondents felt harassed is not explicit in these questions, but part of a criteria the respondents would not necessarily be aware of.
Well yes, you are, guilty of deflecting criticism by claiming the definitions are too broad.
That's a common defensive reaction.
Problems should be well-defined. Someone can take that position whether they're doing it defensively or not and still be making a legitimate point. Calling it defensive, notably on a topic where there is moral stigma associated with being defensive about it, is just an ad hominem attack.
There are plenty of legitimate critiques of Parent's message--he appears to be dismissing out-of-hand an issue that affects hundreds of millions of people a year. He also failed to state what definitions he thinks are too broad to be useful. Responding with a question about one or more of those that might make people think about the issue is the difference between trolling and dialogue.
Given the relative percentages... it's likely that the "harassment escalating to assault" numbers for the men is underreported by a factor of 2.5, which would be about on a par with the underreporting of men being raped in the general population. There's a real cultural stigma to reporting by men, who are, by stereotype and therefore societal norms, "supposed to be" on the other end of the power equation.
Now before I get marked as a troll let me say I am not suggesting that all complaints of harrassment or assault are ficticious or embelishements. But lets be honest here - a guy looking at a woman in the office is viewed by women a lot differently than when one of their female coworkers checks out a male worker. And then there is the flipside - the woman who holds a grudge seemingly against all males because she is not pretty and does not get that kind of attention - regardless of whether she advances in her career or not. Men are damned if they do and damned if they don't while women get the free pass.
So I guess I come at this from the "fat? no of course that dress doesn't make you look fat because you aren't!" school of things because we all know what happens if you don't answer precisely that way. Isn't it time that women (as a group) just get over it?
Of course this happened. Smart people are sex magnets.
Fucking hell. A conservative anti-science fascist tool submitting a story on science and women...
There is some selection bias inherent in this. Supervisors are more likely to be male (another persistent problem in many fiels), so therefore, any instance of supervisor/subordinate interaction, of any kind, is more likely to be male>female rather than female>male
The problem isn't so much with question 32, which looks to elicit what could be loosely described as "sexist or inappropriate remarks" (which "that's such a female way to approach the problem" would be an example of.. not rising to sexual assault, but certainly sexist).
The real issue is whether the response rate to that question gets reported as "TBD % of women reported receiving inappropriate or sexual remarks" (without the qualifiers)
Personally, I blame it on the existence of the 'mount' command.

Calling it defensive, notably on a topic where there is moral stigma associated with being defensive about it, is just an ad hominem attack.
Not sure about your perspective on the situation but I consider any woman whose had sexual relations prior to marriage to be damaged goods in the sense she is not a virgin. Is that the moral stimga you've attached to this discussion?
If a woman says 'no', cease and desist immediately. Walk away if you feel unable to control yourself. If she subsequently plays all "let's get it on, I was joking when I said no", run away after explaining to her that she is sending mixed messages which is unacceptable. You don't want a sexual assault charge do you?
because science is a concept.
the people conducting what they call science are the problem.
Unless you can separate out the responders who were too drunk to give consent during sexual contact (but otherwise didn't object to the encounter) from the responders who were raped or date raped or unknowingly drugged.
From the PLOS ONE site:
"A majority of survey respondents reported that they had directly observed or been told about the occurrence of other field site researchers and/or colleagues making inappropriate or sexual remarks at their most recent or most notable field site"
The 'or been told' means they are getting the equivalent of a message passed during the telephone message.
Have a look at the original article the authors even note the major problems of this study. The sample (Only 666 respondents) is not representative. The subject matter is more likely to be responded to by those with strong negative views. The link was referred, making it a snow ball sample, those who know others with strong view are likely to pass it to those people. The group was uncharacteristically composed of women They assumed a different email name signifies a different person. The researchers pointed this out along with the face that there is not way of singling out any group as being worse than any other group. This in combination with the differing understandings of the questions. That said however, there are issues here. It is important to highlight the different understanding and norms between genders and age groups that can cause problems as well as bring attention to the options open to victims to seek help and remedy issues. Note that the survey found that none of the men knew what to do if they felt they had been sexually harassed.
Please don't fall for the political manipulation. Women are just as capable of being fully as reprehensible as men. The only problem that I see, is our failure within the technological community to acknowledge that fact.

A few years ago we had a nasty witch hunt for supposed child molesters. Then we went through a sexual assault panic. Now we seem to be getting really crazy in regard to sexual assaults in the work place. The catch is that sexual assaults or insults can be claimed out of whole cloth. Think about two or three people working covertly who sign up for work at a company as if they never knew each other. All of a sudden a false accusation is made and the other two workers back up the lies told by the supposed victim. You know the business can be sued for lots of money. Just how can a target defend against such tactics? Imagine an employee claiming that he saw a grab and fondle incident while the woman tried to break free. Then another employee claiming that she saw the supposed victim fighting off the same executive. The problem is that false accusations are all too common. Remember the Duke sports team that was hammered and scarred forever by a crack addict with false accusations? Or how about the McMartin Day Care incident where people were ruined for life where no violations ever took place. And even the famous George Zimmerman case is important as it proves corruption in the system and an unjust system on top of that. Mr. Zimmerman met every inch of Florida law. The police refused to make an arrest as there was zero evidence of wrong doing. The prosecutor refused to take Mr. Zimmerman to trial as there was no violation of law. Yet the notoriously corrupt Governor Rick Scott ordered a special prosecutor and state police to arrest Mr. Zimmerman and take him to trial. A sane jury found him not guilty. Yet he has been bankrupted and lives in fear and is probably a bit crazy now due to the persecution he has suffered. Keep in mind that simply clenching a fist and stepping forward is enough to justify being gunned down under Florida law. There are areas that the police and courts need to avoid as proof and truth will usually not be found. Now we are told that if a female is the type that says oh no, oh no, oh yes, oh yes during sex that somehow that makes a man a rapist. Obviously the entire situation must be considered and be provable before any arrest takes place.
Sexual Assault has a science problem...
"Moogs! Would YOU buy that for a quarter?" CMK
My girlfriend had the audacity to be the only woman graduate student in a science research group. Her reward was nearly constant verbal sexual abuse. Her colleagues would joke about masturbating in the office and splattering their semen on her computer keyboard. The harassers were Americans born in the 1980s from upper-middle class backgrounds.
Isn't the other statistic that 1 in 5 women in the US have been sexually assaulted? So, that's a 20% baseline. I imagine somewhat of an increase in sexual assault if you're working in a field that is predominantly the opposite sex. Plus I'm sure there are some other modifiers for the field that you simply aren't going to be able to change, like the types of people that get into those fields - I don't mean peverts, but maybe higher ambition or drive can contribute to crossing the line between flirtation and a meeting with HR. ---It could also be that educated and motivated females are less tolerant of assault and more likely to report it.--- Or maybe science makes nerds horny (half joking).

I've read an article about the same sort of problem but then about ISIS/IS mass raping women and little boys in their war and the lack of public outrage about that. It seems that rape is a culturally accepted practice in the USA. Given the fact of unsolved and unreported rapes withing USA borders and their military, it's hard to find proof that rape *isn't" accepted, even if it's technically a crime.

"you transsexual weirdo"
"I did *NOT* bother "shim"
The others included references and links to a pic from Rocky Horror Picture Show, saying that I was nuts for "cutting off my balls", "He/She", Frank. N. Furter, "you are mentally unhinged by taking estrogen to attempt to upset your body's natural order of things, which yes, includes your mind taking a huge hit. You have mentally unbalanced yourself more than doing something quite insane in a sex change to yourself also."
And a lot more. And this goes on every day ...
Sexual harassment in a thread about sexual harassment? This all started because someone asked "What is APK" and I told them.
Now, back on topic, the headline is mislabeled (so what else is new). It says "Science has a sexual assault problem," whereas the actual survey talks about sexual harassment. And a lot of posters seem to have failed to make the distinction.
One (not exhaustive) definition of sexual harassment I would use is words or acts containing references to sex or sexual identity that either make me uncomfortable, or, or, in APK's case, were intended to make me uncomfortable but failed. Sexual assault, on the other hand, is when I'm lying on a hospital gurney in emergency with paper towels stuffed between my legs to stop the bleeding after being attacked. And for the doubters that sexual assault is under-reported, I didn't report that incident - the doctors did. I couldn't tell them. I just wanted the whole world to leave me suffer alone in peace.
Sexual harassment is not a case of "I'll know it when I see it", because too many of the harassers simply don't get it in the first place. Saying so doesn't make me a feminazi - there are plenty of men who do "get it". And there are other parts of the world where it's a heck of a lot worse, due to a culture that treats women as 3rd-class citizens.
"Transparent" is a shit show that trades on every stereotype going. A man in drag is NOT a transsexual.
Feminism has started to ruin science...
First they came for the internet trolls, but I didn't say anything because I wasn't an internet troll. ...
Then they came for the gamers, but I didn't say anything because I wasn't a gamer.
Then they came for the college students, but I didn't say anything because I wasn't a college student.
Now they've come for the scientists, but no one is left to say anything...
It is perfectly logical to call a tomato a vegetable. Because it is a vegetable (culinarily speaking). It's also a fruit (botanically speaking).
The methodology of this study is pretty shaky, so the numbers are worthless. The fact that they're what you'd expect them to be is meaningless. I'm not saying there's no harrassment issues in science or field work, or that your conjecture is necessarily wrong. I'm saying the selection bias of this survey makes it impossible to draw any conclusions from it.
Never let a lack of data get in the way of a good rant.
I have personally observed a friend abandon her more than half complete Physics PhD in Finland due to sexual harrassment and sexual assault. It was also much more interesting than the subsequent PhD she has pursued elsewhere.
To be fair, I have actually gotten someone fired for sexual harassment as a man.
For the record, the guy in question put his hands down my pants at work, so I believe it was justified in that particular case.
Now I'm wondering why.
Liberty.
How the survey questions are interpreted by the people answering them:
"Most of these women encountered this abuse..."
So, not to discriminate or anything, but what about those 6% men?
Anyway, to the numbers, I'd only say that 26% (or even 6%) of 666 is staggering. The authors should have gone to great lengths to work with law enforcement provide a means to gather anonymized data in such a way that still could be used to discover the offenders. Otherwise I don't think this paper has any more value than some article in a tabloid.
I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I can think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.

3.) Secure you vs. DNS redirect poisoned dns servers
4.) Protect you vs. fastflux using botnet attacks and stop their communications back to their C&C servers
5.) Protect you vs. dynamic dns using botnet attacks and stop their communications back to their C&C servers
6.) Protect you vs. domain generation algorithm using botnet attacks and stop their communications back to their C&C servers
7.) Speed you up for websurfing not only by adblocking but also hardcoding favorite sites
8.) Get you past a dnsbl you may not agree with
9.) Keep you off dns request logs
10.) Do all of those things and block ads (better than adblock) more efficiently in cpu cycles and memory usage
11.) Work on ANY webbound application (think stand-alone email programs, for example).
12.) Give you direct, easily notepad/texteditor controlled data for all of the above

If someone comes up to you and says that they are uncomfortable about something, do you say, 'but the statistics argue that i can be theoretically uncomfotable too'?, perhaps one could say 'I'm sorry to hear that, can we work on fixing that together'? People are pointing to a systemic challenge that they face in life that we can solve by just talking and establishing a communicated common ground and everybody goes up in arms and start yelling dumb neologisms like misandry without even engaging feminism in any sort of meaningful way apart from what has been reverberating Rush Limbaugh style from conservative networks onto the internet and echoing out back from tech circles. Whenever there is an article that might indicate a gendered wrongdoing, slashdot gets their dicks tangled up in a knot faster than a 'first poster' can post a 'first post' post. Rather than trying up to come up with reasons why this article that goes beyond your beliefs is wrong, why not see the problem as it clearly exists? Might make you discomfortable sure, but hell is less discomfortable than what women(as well as LGBT people) report as being in the workplace. Given that this exists within a matrushka doll of gendered power hierarchies where men are empowered (... > expectations > education > career steps > ...).. anyhow.. I am digressing here, just wanted to point out that this is not a problem of research methods or terminology but of being.
See subject-line & face the music here scumbag-> http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
* Where I am FINALLY "cornering you" after you erroneously & FALSELY stated I claimed a hosts file can "completely secure you vs. everything/anything & cure cancer" etc. - et al... & what are YOU doing in response?
"Run, Forrest: RUN!!!" evasions, nothing more, vs. answering 15 simple questions, adblock vs. hosts!
(R O T F L M A O... no doubt about it!)
APK
P.S.=> LMAO @ "I worked with the Russians": That's supposed to "impress me"? So have I, TONS of times, as colleagues in the Fortune 100-500 & more!
( + there's LITTLE QUESTION I've done far more than YOU in computing http://slashdot.org/comments.p... that was actually cited so "barb" in my programming career which YOU CLAIMED I was a "know nothing that never worked in the industry" you bullshit blowhard swine (which I confronted you on before & YOU HAD SQUAT by verifiable comparison, bigmouth stalker/libeler/harasser/sockpuppeteer you are KNOWN & PROVEN TO BE in YOUR OWN WORDS quoted here you scumbag freak -> http://news.slashdot.org/comme... )... apk
Your post's minusmodded by barbhudson's sockpuppets. You're right as usual. She tries to vainly hide when she gets her tail handed to her with unjustifiable minusmods administered by her numerous sockpuppets and mods up her own crappy no substance posts with them as well obviously.
Proof right here of your std. modus operandi via sockpuppets & ac stalking posts http://slashdot.org/comments.p... which YOU even TOLD OTHERS TO JOIN YOU IN, scumbag.
Above ALL else here however?
I've totally vindicated myself & saved MY GOOD NAME vs. your outrageous libelous stalking bullshit - with YOU RUNNING AWAY from 15 simple questions on hosts vs. adblock you are evading like a SCARED RABBITT -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
Who's the "know nothing" here, Barb? YOU ARE, lol!
By the SAME token via your evasions being unable to backup your b.s.? You've made ME look GOOD, & yourself like the online TRASH you clearly are.
I haven't stalked you shithead - I was merely confronting you DIRECTLY as is my right to defend myself, AND WIN, destroying a scumbag online like you... and you have only DESTROYED YOURSELF, with your own words & actions, you freak.
"Cry pity" all you LIKE asshole - you fail, no matter *WHAT* crap angle you try. Truth's like that, Try it sometime.
APK
P.S.=> You're trash, twisted (obviously since fact is fact you're a transsexual for Pete's sake) sicko trash, plain & simple proved in the link above in YOUR OWN WORDS quoted as PROOF THEREOF on how you have multiple sockpuppets online to upmod yourself + downmod opponents unjustifiably with AND stalking me by AC posts too!
Lastly - YOU certainly CAN'T BACKUP YOUR B.S. vs. my points on hosts here ("run, forrest: run!!!") -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p... despite libeling me saying "I live with my mommy" (I am a taxpaying homeowner) & that I am a "know nothing who never worked in the industry" which I proved TOTALLY WRONG with facts here -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
I didn't confront you in "every post you make" liar: Only your bogusly sockpuppet modded up ones http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
Which is NOW, backfiring on you, isn't it? They're highly visible where I state facts, you quoted in fact, on JUST HOW YOU OPERATE ONLINE!
So much for YOU using MULTIPLE SOCKPUPPETS to hide posts you failed BADLY in, & yes, ones you *obviously* used your multiple registered accounts to "upmod" your shit posts with as well!
OR, are these *NOT* just 3 examples of your bogus shenanigans with multiple account use here on /.:
http://slashdot.org/~BarbaraHu... = http://slashdot.org/~tomhudson... + http://slashdot.org/~Barbara%2...
?
I am SURE you keep many more of those too... you are dishonest & dishonorable TRASH.
APK
P.S.=> Now, I've FINALLY 'cornered you' FAIRLY & you can't escape it, only evading it like the pisspot you are evidencing yourself to be, you fucking libelous stalking sockpuppeteering piece of shit, by evading answering 15 simple questions I put to you in COMPLETELY FAIR CHALLENGE TO YOU in this link (to watch you squirm like you've been doing - I love it: You only did it, to yourself) -> http://slashdot.org/comments.p... - Keep "RUNNING", Forrest - we all can now see, plainly via your evasions, who the "know nothing is" you stooge (you)... apk
Barb projects her sockpuppet methods again using TOR or proxies apk. No first for her. She/He's proven to stalk you by anonymous coward posts. Fact is she keeps at least 3 sockpuppet accounts (2 of which are apparently banned) which you've shown too. She's toast. She did it to herself (himself?) again.
