Males who are being sexually harassed by other male co-workers are starting to speak up. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sexual harassment charges filed by men has doubled between 1992 and 2008, from 8% to 16%. "We are receiving more and more charges by males complaining about sexual harassment," says EEOC spokesman James Ryan. "And anecdotally, more of these cases are male-on-male sexual harassment. There is no question that males can be the victims of sexual harassment in the workplace, and there is no excuse for it." The typical stereotype is that sexual harassment occurs between a male and a female. Regardless of gender sexual harassment is an issue of control and misusing power with the intention of humiliating the victim. Reasons for the increase in man-to-man sexual harassment may be due to the economic situation. Employees are under more stress than they were before. Especially in group settings, harassment is taking place. The downside with man-on-man sexual harassment is it is hard to prove in court, it has to be proven that the harassment is based on gender. In order to reduce the occurrences of sexual harassment, it needs to be openly discussed so that more men can come forward. People need to be made aware that sexual harassment is wrong no matter what the gender of the perpetrator or victim is.
