You ever notice how in almost any industry, hobby, geographical area or any other demographic you care to pick, a story about sexual assault will get traction and then people in that demographic will be like "Yeah, sexual assault is kind of an open secret here"? Surgery. Fucking surgery. Someone is trying to give someone a new lease on life, a gift most precious that very few can bestow, and someone else is like "I'll bet I can get a fistful of tiddy", and an entire room full of people are like "This is fine and normal. Let's not do anything about it."
To be honest I'm not surprised. Have you ever met a surgeon before? Quite a few assholes who think they're King of the world.
Found a study that looked at the correlation between difference in hierachial status within the workspace and sexual objectification. In short they found that women sexually objectify men regardless of status, men sexually objectified women of a higher status then them much more than women of lower status.
I wonder if this plays in here as well. Since surgery has some of the most arrogant asshats regardless of gender.
Shit like this keeps making me lose trust in men. Having some decent male friends who are married and have kids, counter balances it. Though now, I always assume that any man is perfectly capable of being a predator.
