There is no shortage of gender issues at work that we should be concerned about, including the gender pay gap, unconscious gender bias and sexual harassment. Of all the issues facing women at work, including less pay, obstacles to advancement and sexual harassment, what are men most concerned about? The nationally representative poll conducted at the end of December asked 2,201 respondents to rate how concerned (very concerned, somewhat concerned, not too concerned, not at all concerned) they were about issues like women being paid less than men, women facing obstacles to career advancement, women experiencing sexual harassment and assault at work, and women making false claims about harassment or assault. Even unproven allegations can damage an individual’s reputation, and since most harassment and assault claims are against men, men may fear that false allegations would be directed at them. Over half of women surveyed reported that they themselves are very concerned about this issue of women filing false allegations.
