It is interesting - I've worked in a female dominated work environment (libraries) for 23 years and never experienced that at all. At one of my branches - I was the only male staff member in the building. The closest to harassment I got in my early years was having to deal with aggressive/violent patrons, and being first to be asked to plunge a toilet.
RNs in my experience are confident and assertive individuals, frequently the exact opposite of Librarians. I wonder if that personality trait has more bearing on the harassment.
