Men are concerned about what #MeToo is doing to men at work

The Washington Post reports:
Six months after sexual harassment complaints started mounting against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, Americans seem split on what the #MeToo movement has meant for the workplace, according to a new survey from the Pew Research Center.

Sixty-eight percent of Republican men and 59 percent of Republican women say it’s “harder” for men to interact with female colleagues while 45 percent of Democratic men and 40 percent of Democratic women feel the same.

The survey, called “Sexual Harassment at Work in the Era of #MeToo,” sought to measure the labor impact of “increased attention to the issue of sexual harassment and assault,” the authors wrote. (It did not ask respondents to explain their answers to multiple choice questions or provide specific examples of how they thought things have changed.)
