Summary/Abstract: We inspect the relevant literature on gender-based misconduct, egregious sexual pressure, and misogynistic practices, providing both quantitative evidence on trends and numerous in-depth empirical examples. Using and replicating data from Bucknell Institute for Public Policy, CAP, U.S. Department of Labor, and YouGov, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding comparison of filings by industry and sex to share of women and men (2010–2018) and the percentage who think that, in the future, the #MeToo movement will (not) lead to a decline in sexual harassment in the workplace.
