MORE THAN TWO years have passed since the New York Times and the New Yorker first reported allegations of sexual harassment against Harvey Weinstein. This week a jury in Manhattan may deliver a verdict for the disgraced film producer, on charges that include rape, criminal sexual assault and predatory sexual assault. Much has changed for Mr Weinstein since allegations against him emerged, sparking a global reckoning over sexual abuse by powerful men. He and his film studio face a $25m bill to settle civil lawsuits brought by his alleged victims. If convicted in his criminal case, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.
But have views on the treatment of women changed in the wake of #MeToo? In October 2017 The Economist commissioned YouGov, a pollster, to survey 1,500 American adults about their attitudes towards sexual harassment. Respondents were asked whether 12 different acts—from “asking for a drink” to “requesting a sexual favour”—constituted harassment. The exercise was repeated in October 2018 and again last year.
