In speaking about the difficulties of responding to sexual harassment in the moment, Faris touches upon an important point. Often, harassment is so shocking that it causes the women (and men) who experience it to clam up or freeze.

Alternatively, we grin and bear it, out of a desire not to ‘make a scene’, or to show that we can ‘take a joke’.

But this “self-defence mechanism” – as Faris describes it – can later be used against us. It’s frustratingly common to encounter people who question why sexual harassment victims don’t simply speak out at the time of the incident, ignoring the many, many reasons why a woman might feel incapable of doing so, particularly at work.

Hopefully, however, the ongoing conversation about sexual harassment in the workplace will lead to more people feeling able to challenge their harassers and discuss their experiences. And with any luck, it will also cause those same harassers to realise that in this brave, post-Weinstein world, their behaviour will no longer be tolerated.
