Sexual harassment claims made by attractive women considered more credible ANI | Updated: Jan 18, 2021 04:04 IST
Washington [US], January 17 (ANI): Young conventionally attractive women who act in a feminine manner have a higher probability of being believed when making sexual harassment accusations, as revealed in a recent study.
The findings of this University of Washington-led study involved more than 4,000 participants, reveals perceptions that primarily prototypical women are likely to be harassed. The research also showed that women outside of those socially determined norms or non-prototypical women are more likely perceived as not being harmed by harassment.
That leaves women who do not fit the prototype potentially facing greater hurdles when trying to convince a workplace or court that they have been harassed.

mpeachment. Take Two.
On January 13, 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to impeach President Donald J. Trump on one count of “incitement of insurrection” by a vote of 232–197 (10 Republicans voted to impeach and 4 did not cast votes). He is the first president to have been impeached twice.
Because President Trump has only four full days left in office, what happens next is a bit unclear. First, there is some legal debate as to whether the United States Constitution’s impeachment process allows for conviction after a president leaves office. Second, and perhaps more importantly for the
Buzz, because the impeachment trial likely won’t start in the U.S. Senate until sometime next week, it will surely impact President-elect Joseph R. Biden’s agenda, especially during Biden’s crucial first 100 days in office. (The previous presidential impeachment trials lasted 21 days, 37 days, and 83 days, respectively.)

Those opposing forces have spawned an unusual situation: In addition to educating their workers about the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccines, a growing number of employers are dangling incentives like cash, extra time off and even Waffle House gift cards for those who get inoculated, while in at least a few cases saying they will fire those who refuse.
