“…The fact that these texts were solely written by ecclesial and secular men incorporating Graeco-Roman law, demonstrates the level of domination men had over women and children at that time. Sadly, women passed on their knowledge to one another through oral traditions, they were not allowed to author or inform any aspects of these texts and manuscripts (Garver, 2012). The travesty is there is not much rich documented evidence that does contain female experiences or perspectives, even when discussing female specific functionality such as reproduction, conception, pregnancy and childbirth (2012).…”

“…If a female was found to be "barren" it was the ultimate loss of position, with the laws stating a husband could dismiss his marriage obligation to her in lieu of finding another woman who could bear sons. Garver (2012) cites Sedulius Scottes on the importance the king has in finding a "prudent and virtuous wife" saying that "For truly an inept wife is the downfall of a household…the lingering of all evil and vice" (Garver, 2012, p. 220). To further demonstrate patriarchal culture, she cites Hranbanus, a male scribe and advisor who states that "women is hindered from learning by [man and woman] and are distinguished by the strength and feebleness of their bodies" which clearly shows the "smarter" stronger male as being of more value over the "weaker" less learned female (Garver, 2012, p. 220).…”

“…Can we attribute this to the deeply embedded sense of self superiority that patriarchal power embodies? As with prior patriarchal power and domination in other historical time frames and cultures, the AMA has been built in accordance to the foundations and epistemology of the Church, which has been documented, demonstrates a common thread of philosophy that runs directly through from ancient civilizations (Garver, 2012), which thrived on all forms of sexism to control, oppress and hold dominion over women.…”

Sexual and Gender Harassment are top of mind in the current cultural landscape, with marked increase in conversations and testimonials coming forward by women of diverse backgrounds, ages, careers and workplaces, both in the US and globally. The topic has created a vast channel of myriad communications and multi shaded responses to those women who have been courageous enough to open-up and share these oftentimes, shame filled and buried experiences.In organizations where there are more males in power over their female subordinates, as in healthcare, we see an increase in these types of gender/sex harassment/ behaviors. In phase one of this mixed method study a survey was used to collect occurrence, type and frequency of gender/sex harassment/abuse behaviors. In phase two, an interview process took place with the goal to better understand the lived experiences of female nurses who experienced some type of this behavior, and the impact and effects these experiences had on them psychologically, physically, and on their jobs. The conclusion was that acute hospitals have an organized patriarchy in place, male physicians are held in higher esteem and have more clout than female nurses. Male physicians use gender harassment language and behaviors to control, thereby maintaining their power within the organziation, whilst the implied authority of the MD is supported, even in the case of sexual assault. This renders a sick culture of sex/gender harassment/abuse where these types of behaviors occur with alarming frequency, leaving the emotional and psychobiological effects up to the nurse to deal with alone.
