Is it the attractive female secretary? The attractive female employee by a man who is higher up in the organizational hierarchy?

Learn more about this complex issue in this episode of The Psych Files.

…sexual harassment is driven not out of desire for women who meet feminine ideals but out of a desire to punish those who violate them.

What are the actors thinking? What would you be thinking if you had to take your clothes off in front of an audience? Would it make a difference if you were a man or a woman? How so? This week I take a look at the Full Monty and issues like body image and gender. I interview the cast and I think you’ll find their views very interesting. Join me as I go backstage and explore the psychological and societal issues brought up by The Full Monty musical.

There were several controversial opinions about body image and gender expressed by the interviewees during this episode. I’ve pulled of the quotes out. Listen to them here: Body Image and Gender Quotes.
