Complicit: How Our Culture Enables Misbehaving Men - Reah Bravo

A thoroughly researched and deeply personal examination of how women unintentionally condone workplace abuse in a post-#MeToo world—and a guide to changing things for the better When Reah Bravo began working at the Charlie Rose show, the open secret of Rose’s conduct toward women didn’t deter her from pursuing a position she thought could launch her career in broadcast journalism. She considered herself more than capable of handling any unprofessional behavior that might come her way. But she soon learned a devastating truth: we don’t always react to abusive situations as we imagine we would.In a society where many feminist ideals are mainstream and women hold positions of power, how does sexual misconduct remain as prevalent as it is? When so many employers mandate training to prevent harassment of all kinds, why is workplace abuse still rampant? Weaving her own experience with those of other women and insights from experts, Bravo reveals the psychological and cultural forces that make us all enablers of a sexist and dangerous status quo. By bringing these hard truths to light, Complicit charts an accessible path toward a better future.
