Sexual Harassment In The Out Come

This movie in my opinion was not only very entertaining it was very eye opening to see the effect of sexual harassment in a job setting. I was alarmed and sadden to see nobody believe these innocent women. It baffled me, that men actually behave in this manner and that people accept the fact it happens. I was almost in tear as I was so in shock of what these women had to go though and the disgusting things the men did to them. The out come was very satisfying for me to see. The main character, Josey Aimes and her father have a strained relationship that plays a large role in this film. Her father is ashamed of Josey and lets her mother and her know it. Her father held the power in the family and house. As Josey was raped at a young age and
That was a very powerful comment to say, as he was referring to his daughter as a “whore” again. He was naive to the situation Josey was in, as if he almost took the husbands side. Her father judged everything Josey did and had done. As Josey never got her fathers approval and felt as though she was a shame to him, she began to resent him. I believe her father plays such a powerful role in this film because he starts off at the mining job like the rest of the guys, he doesn’t want his daughter to be there nor does anyone else. He does not speak up about the sexual assaults reoccurring on the job site, nor does any other guy. Until he sees the outcomes of his daughter he starts to realize how sexist the work place is to these women. As he speaks up to the men, he opens many eyes, he starts to fight for his daughter and believes in her. Her father fights for not only her in the court and against
One of the foreman states “all sorts of things a woman shouldn’t be doing if you ask me”. This statement is very sexist and lets us know how much the men hate the fact the women work with them and do a good job, just like they do. He is suggesting than men are not capable of doing men’s work, there for they are less than men. The men feel like they need to compete with the women and they do that by harassment. The men in the movie and on job sites harass women to see what the can take, and do see how much it takes for them to quit. I believe the men wanted the women to quit there for harassing them also. The men wanted to see how the women reacted because it was a source of entertainment for them. As Sherri was being pushed in the porta potty, men were laughing and gathering around as it was a show. The men thought it was funny, they thought it made themselves look cool and powerful. I will never be able to understand the things those men did to the women on the job site. Nobody should ever be called such names or assaulted in those manners. I do not think I could justify a reason for the harassment that occurred on the mine or ever for that
