BLOG 25: Pros and Cons for Sexuality in the Work Place

The work place is somewhere that no matter how much you try to keep sexuality out of the work place it will still manage to make its way into the environment. The cons of having sexuality in the work place are that there could be problems with sexual harassment, people could complain, sue, loose respect, and it could create an uneven balance of power in the dominance of one gender in the environment. Sexuality could create a "negative sexual stereotype." The men in the work place could see their female colleagues as a sexual being or object because of how their are dressed and not as an equal. Since they look at them different and see them in a different light there will be an uneven level of power and domination of power ( Ch. 3 and 4).

In the media sexually is always had the front and is the hot topic for conservations. In the media both men and a lot of women are using sexuality as a pro and an edge to gain power and dominance over the males. These women use sexuality to help get some things their way and to gain attention. It is sad to say that this does work and a lot of women are using this strategy to get ahead and gain power and dominance through attention. The con of using sexuality in the media is that when they use sexuality they will loose a sense of self because these men and co-workers will look at them differently. They will see them more as an object. Personally I think the con of the sexuality will and out weight the pro.
