"Not much has changed for women in the workplace, despite the rise of the Me Too movement, according to a new study by LeanIn.org and McKinsey & Company. It looked at nearly 300 companies, surveyed more than 64,000 employees and concluded that women still face sexual harassment at work.
'As the new CEO of Time's Up, Lisa Border, said, 'You can't boil the ocean and you can't do it fast.' There is a lot that still hasn't changed. And so part of what we see is this sort of stubbornness in corporate America with gender dynamics that we always have. And then there are some real signs of change,' CBS News contributor and New York Times investigative reporter Jodi Kantor told CBS This Morning on Wednesday. 'My colleagues just reported that out of the 200 or so men who lost their jobs as a result of these allegations, about half were replaced by women. So that's real change right there.'
Kantor co-wrote the first story on the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault allegations for the Times, which helped spark the Me Too movement nationwide.
Women also remain under-represented at every level, especially women of color, the study found. Kantor said women of color are 'fighting a war on two fronts.'
'They're confronting two sets of stereotypes. And one of the things the study discusses is the problem of only-ness and how hard it is to be the only something in a room, for instance the only black woman, and what a burden that really puts on you,' Kantor said."
