ABSTRACT. Using and replicating data from Abacus Data, Bucknell Institute for Public Policy, ESDC, Ipsos, Pew Research Center, Statista, Statistics Canada, and YouGov, we performed analyses and made estimates regarding share agreeing that sexual harassment is the biggest issue facing women, perceived offensiveness of sexualized or discriminatory behaviors seen, heard, or experienced, percentage who claim that, in the future, the #MeToo movement will (not) lead to workplaces creating stricter definitions of sexual harassment, and top risk factors for sexual violence (lack of institutional support for victims, adherence to traditional gender role norms in the workplace, lack of employment opportunities, weak sanctions against violence perpetrators, and weak policies related to sexual violence and gender equity).

Keywords: #MeToo campaign; male control; gendered harassment; workplace misconduct
