But I’m sure if you looked at it in proportion, a higher percentage of women were probably subject to harassment than to today. Women arnt seen as a ‘weaker’ sex anymore (and by weaker I’m talking about mentally weaker) and there is more legislation and company policies against inappropriate behaviour.However, there were less issues at workplaces because fewer women were at work, and those that were more likely to be in a single sex environment, more men (and women) with mental health issues were kept in institutions rather than 'care in the community' and the social norm later at night was for women to walk/travel with a male escort of some description.
Your post also doesn’t get away from the fact that violence, and sexual violence, towards women was not talked about, and men got away with it much more easily.
And some of the lower level violence, like slapping a wife if she steps out of line, was socially acceptable. That is totally unacceptable now. Well, amongst developed societies anyway.
