Several of my female college classmates and I recently observed this type of subtle harassment from a male professor this semester. We would tell each other to "let it go" constantly. Just like the article points out, it affected our comfort level and ultimately how we felt about the class. I googled this topic and I'm glad to have found your article. Great article!

I recently had an experience with subtle harassment and I reacted in exactly this way- with the scared social smiles and everything. I eventually got so freaked out that I just quit. I felt like a coward quitting and I still kind of do but reading this at least makes me feel like I'm not alone. But I hope if I ever encounter this again I will be a confronter and not a quitter.
