“…However, victims described their reluctance to report sexual harassment predominately when it came to male nurses because no one would take their allegations seriously and because of the fear of hurting relationships with others at work. This adds to the growing body of literature on men's silencing, which suggests that male victims of sexual harassment find it more difficult to report sexual harassment than their female counterparts (Griswold et al, 2020). This study's strength is that it explores the frequency of sexual harassment among male and female nurses and why victims do not report sexual harassment.…”

Aims The aims of this work are to compare the frequency of sexual harassment among male and female nurses in Greece and capture the reasons for not reporting sexual harassment. Background The #MeToo and #TimesUp movements have emphasized the ubiquity of sexual harassment in health care. Yet, limited studies have explored sexual harassment among male and female nurses and the reasons for not reporting it. Methods An online cross‐sectional survey was conducted using the Sexual Experiences Questionnaire (SEQ) to collect data from 1.264 female nurses and 507 male nurses. Results Sixty‐seven per cent of female nurses have experienced sexual harassment at least once in their working lives, whereas male nurses' exact figure was 41%. The most common type of sexual harassment for both groups was gender harassment, followed by unwanted sexual attention and sexual coercion. Female nurses experienced more severe adverse consequences, whereas male nurses experienced moderate negative consequences. Conclusions Policymakers and hospital managers should create mechanisms to allow victims to report their experiences and establish an independent committee to assess victims' complaints. Implications for nursing management Managers are called to change how hospitals deal with sexual harassment cases, modernize their management style, and support sexual harassment victims to break their silence without fear of negative consequences.

“…Although people of any gender can be victimized by rape (e.g., Aosved et al, 2011; Griswold et al, 2020), men, and college-aged men in particular, comprise the majority of rape perpetrators (Barone et al, 2007; Flood, 2006; Koss, 1993; Ybarra & Mitchell, 2013). Indeed, in a recent systematic review of 78 independent studies, the average prevalence rates of SV perpetration and rape in a combined sample of 25,524 college-aged men were 29% and 6%, respectively (Anderson et al, 2019; see also Muehlenhard et al, 2017).…”

Sexual violence, including rape, is a pervasive problem on college campuses in the United States. Although men perpetrate the majority of sexual violence, men's attitudes, experiences, and perspectives are not typically included in research on rape and sexual violence. We addressed this empirical gap through our mixed-methods analysis of 365 young men's definitions of the term "rape." Our analysis via consensual qualitative research revealed that men's definitions fit into nine primary domains: lack of consent, taken advantage of, sex, sexual activity, unwanted, gender/sex-specific, harm to victim, relationship, and emotional response, as well as a miscellaneous domain. Further, using chi square tests of independence, we compared responses from men with and without a history of sexual violence perpetration. Findings showed that the definitions generated by men with a history of perpetration were less likely to include non-penetrative sexual violence and were more likely to use gender/sexspecific language in their definitions of rape. We conclude that most young men have a generally accurate understanding of rape, though perpetrators' understandings may be somewhat narrower and more limited than those without a history of perpetration. We end with recommendations for refocusing sexual education curricula to better aid in the prevention of sexual violence perpetration. Specifically, given that (most) men know what rape is, educators should emphasize the cultural and situational factors that make rape more likely so all people can reduce the risk of sexual violence and take proactive precautions to prevent it.
