Myth 12.
Women on a job site make it difficult for men to concentrate; the women are too distracting.

FACT
It is different, at first, to have a woman on a work site if an employer has never hired a female worker before. Employers can ensure the productivity of all the workers by telling employees that a qualified woman has been hired and that harassment will not be tolerated. While sexual harassment can happen in any work environment, it can be particularly harsh for women working in nontraditional occupations. The problem that must be stopped is the harassing behavior, not women's entrance into the workplace.
