The data about rampant sexual harassment and gender discrimination of female doctors are confirmed by numerous studies.3 These incidents should be further divided by the settings in which they occurred because level of power differential in relations between supervising person and victim6 is much higher in training and academic settings than in medical office, and the average age of the victim is younger in training than in other settings.6 Research by the Pew Research Center7 supported several intuitive hypotheses important for analysis of the problem of sexual harassment and gender discrimination in general and in medicine in the USA. 66% of Americans, regardless of gender and political affiliation, attributed the allegations mainly to widespread problems in society, whereas just 28% of adults attributed them mainly to individual misconduct. 22% of employed women said they have been sexually harassed at work, 42% of employed women said they had experienced some form of gender discrimination at work, and 57% of women (and 42% of men) said the country had not gone far enough in giving women equal rights with men. 41% of women said men have it easier than women—a view shared by 28% of men. ...victims of harassment or discrimination use personal money to pay for legal representation, whereas institutions pay for defence of powerful offenders. ...victims of abuse and discrimination who come forward are often retaliated against.
