Sexual Harassment And Professional Offices
At the end of the 1978 movie "Animal House," before the credits role, the fate of the degenerate frat boys at the heart of the story is revealed in short clips. John "Bluto" Blutarsky, played by John Bulushi, becomes a U.S. Senator, and others become doctors and diplomats, the joke being that drunken depravity is not a liability in some supposedly respectable professions.
If you are an employee in a law firm or medical office, don't expect a civil work environment simply because you work among the well-educated. The Blutos of the world, often blessed with social privilege and elite schooling, take their depravity into adulthood. In fact, there are plenty of professional offices which become small social clubs, like fraternities, centering on the same rituals of drinking and debauchery.
Sexual harassment involves the exploitation of power. Doctors' and lawyers' offices are not immune to these abuses.
