Abstract
The #MeToo movement has brought global attention to issue of sexual harassment (SH) and has been credited with many beneficial effects, such as increased public awareness (Szekeres et al., 2020), better legislation (Tippett, 2018), and a decrease in harassment prevalence (Johnson et al., 2019). Notwithstanding these positive effects, the movement has also been criticized for its over-emphasis on prototypical forms of harassment (Hart, 2023; Kessler et al., 2020; Saguy & Rees, 2021). Harassment can take many forms (Gelfand et al., 1995; Fitzgerald et al., 1988) that differ in their prevalence and conspicuousness. In that regard, Johnson et al. (2019) found in their study that while blatant SH declined in the aftermath of the #MeToo movement, there was simultaneously an increase in reports of more subtle forms of harassment.
