In light of our recent discussions on race relations and gender and the cringe-worthy sexual harassment debacle surrounding Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain, I thought I'd share this NYT opinion piece I came across today. On another note somewhat pertaining to our discussion of gender last week, I think it's been really interesting to listen to the attacks that have been leveled against this fourth woman Sharon Bialich in an attempt to discredit her allegations. Honestly it's been shocking to realize that women in the workplace in 2011 are STILL going to potentially be cross-examined and looked at as suspicious for, say, going to dinner with a male superior. If you have time the piece is short so check it out!
