Sexual Harassment: Stories Too Many Women Share

Sexual harassment is something far too many people experience—but far too few people openly discuss. In this candid and deeply personal episode of The Women Are Plotting, Etienne Rose Olivier, Heidi Willis, and Jane Gari share their own experiences with sexual harassment in workplaces, schools, the military, healthcare, retail, restaurants, and everyday life. Through a mix of heartfelt stories, humor, and honest reflection, they explore how unwanted attention, inappropriate comments, intimidation, and abuse of power have affected them throughout their lives and careers. The hosts examine current research on workplace harassment, discuss why many incidents go unreported, and explore the complex dynamics of consent, power, boundaries, and respect. They also reflect on how societal attitudes have changed over the years, why speaking up matters, and what allies, employers, and bystanders can do to create safer environments for everyone. While the subject is serious, the conversation also highlights resilience, personal growth, and the importance of standing up for yourself and others. It's an honest discussion about recognizing inappropriate behavior, respecting boundaries, and building a culture where everyone feels safe, heard, and valued.
