Ways for Women to React to Biased Behavior

In cases of blatant sexual harassment, a woman can usually complain to some authority. In less clear-cut but nevertheless offensive situations, this option is often not open. While acting as a group and writing a report was effective for women at MIT [MIT 1983] and Carnegie-Mellon [CMU 1989], often women must react individually to behavior they find unacceptable.
