Is it a hype or a reality? Do you think there is need for finding a way or you leave it to the person? Are laws protecting them strong enough? Your views and experiences please.

yeah, some. But I don't think asking her out one too many times qualifies, as some of the feminists would have us and the courts believe.
The U.S. is a nation of crybabies. Postal workers sue dog owners for millions over a nip on the ankle. People go whining to the courts in the hope of making bad taste and bad manners legally actionable offenses, and people claiming sexual harassment are some of the worst offenders - male and female.
I don't see that tossing off a dirty and tasteless joke justifies making it possible by so doing for the poor offended party to live in the lap of luxury for the rest of his/her life at the expense of the company's insurance company.

I am a long-haul team truck driver (with my husband) and I can tell you that in this environment, women are heavily discriminated against. I can't go one shift (11 hours) without another truck driver asking me to show him my "rack" on the CB. I get teased and made fun of when I'm backing a truck, and I have to put up with all manner of nasty, sexually explicit conversation in truck stops, docks, and over the CB.
Now, having said that, I will also say that I have never felt sexually "exploited." I think you may want to reword your question. A sexually exploited woman is one who is used against her will for sexual purposes. I assume that this would mean woman being taken as slaves overseas, working in strip clubs and houses of prostitution and such. If you mean sexually harrassed, or discriminated against, that is another subject entirely.
As for laws, the old saying goes, "a lock only keeps an honest man out." Laws are not what change society or protect people. We must each look in the mirror and change our hearts if we are to effect society.

As a stripper, i can inform you I felt plenty extra exploited while i substitute into engaged on the action picture instruct in extreme college, cleansing up puke for $5 an hour. i do no longer sell intercourse, or my physique-I sell my nudity and my conversational skills (it extremely is precise, maximum of my clientele delight in the reality that i can carry a verbal substitute). I chosen to be a stripper no longer because of the fact I certainly have "no different recommendations" yet because of the fact i actually get exhilaration from what I do (that, and that i'm certainly nocturnal lol).to earnings underage human intercourse trafficking (that's disgusting and a custom that should be ended) with an person woman picking the thank you to earn money is only dumbfounded. i would not do my job if i did no longer get exhilaration from it or if I felt exploited-and there is extra to who i'm than my job.

There are definitely some jobs where women workers are sexually exploited!
There are the obvious examples, of course, like strippers.
But many women have to use their sexuality as part of their job.
Like actresses and models, who are hired based on appearance and have their images presented in a sexualized way.
But other workers too.. like bartenders, who are expected to flirt with male customers and "make them feel special" (a woman I know who was a bartender was actually told that by her boss - she quit a few weeks after that). This is true for servers, flight attendants and even receptionists.
Many women are hired based on their appearance - and if a female job applicant doesn't fit American society's beauty standards, she will not get hired

Yes I think they are. We know that anything sexual sells. So we use a woman for that means. It is not right but unfortunately it happens. I had a boss of mine offer a customer to come in and meet our secretary. He later told me that he thought that maybe she could talk him into buying our product. Is this right? In no shape form or fashion. She was not a part of this, but was put unknowing to her in this situation. Then there are the snide comments to other workers about the women that they don't hear. I want them to listen to other men talk about their wives and daughters the way they talk about others. Or let someone walk in with a centerfold of their daughter.

I think it used to be more prevelent than it is today. It's still happening, but at a lesser degree. the laws and workplace education have helped alot. I think you'll see it end in the future.

There are to many women in the work force today to be exploited unwillingly. Most women are to intellegent and knowledgable to allow themselves to be exploited.

Only attractive women get exploited. It's a reality.
There need to find a way.
Laws are there for good. But nobody wants to enforce them.

No, they are not..
Laws protecting against sexual harrassment are too strong...
