COMMENT:

Jennifer was walking down the street when a man came up to her and touched her buttocks. Jennifer was shocked and told some people what had happened, but they laughed. Jennifer is physically unattractive, so people think she can’t be a victim of harassment. ( Real case, made-up name)

Sexual harassment is one of the most widespread forms of gender violence. Women do not have a specific profile for being targets of harassment.

However, people’s perceptions of who is sexually harassed depend on factors such as gender, situational context, the type of harassment, the ideology of the perceiver, the physical attractiveness of the harasser and the victim, and the relationship between both (Herrera, et al., 2016)

The results of scientific research confirm that the situation is perceived as sexual harassment to a greater extent when the harassed person presents herself as physically attractive than when she is unattractive (Herrera, er al., 2016; Golden, et al., 2001; Madera, et al., 2007; Wuensch, et al., 2004)

It is, therefore, a myth that boys harass mainly physically attractive girls.

No hay un patrón que determine que existe un atractivo único, entonces, al ser algo relativamente subjetivo le puede pasar a cualquier persona.
Para que esta afirmación sea cierta, tendríamos que asumir que solo hay un modelo de belleza y que aquel que no entre dentro de él no va a sufrir acoso.

Bajo nuestra experiencia, cuando éramos pre-adolescentes sufríamos mucho más acoso que cuando estamos en nuestra juventud temprana; podríamos creer que los individuos que acosan se sienten más atraídos por la inocencia, la debilidad, y en general, por la indefensión de la víctima. Consideramos que un individuo no se debería de sentiría atraído por estos atributos.

También hay que tener en cuenta que las mujeres desarrolladas son acosadas, por lo que habría que ver otros factores como la situación en la que se encuentran sin importar la edad; ya sea por la calle (impunidad), en el trabajo (la mayoría por parte de compañeros) o en el ámbito de la familia.

Basándonos en el gráfico obtenido del El acoso sexual y el acoso por razón de sexo en el ámbito laboral en España (2021) podemos ver que el porcentaje de mujeres acosadas por grupos de edad, es bastante similar en cada uno de ellos por lo que el argumento de que las mujeres atractivas son más acosadas (las más jóvenes) es inválido.
