From the #MeToo #Hertoo and #Time’sUp online campaigns as well as allegations of #sexual harassment against perceived industry leaders or supposedly industry ‘role models,’ to the not so recent allegation of sexual harassment against a Professor in a Nigerian University, there seems to be some sort of unspoken consensus that the days of sexual harassment are numbered, and new times are now here with us.
New times, indeed, are here with us as such untellable acts and morally despicable conducts (of sexual harassment and workplace sexual assaults) are no longer to be condoned, tenable or swept swiftly and easily under the ‘corporate or professional sham carpet,’ in a bid to cover up for the irresponsibility, unprofessionalism and lack of self-control of the perpetrator(s) of such workplace menaces.
