Privacy and Sexism go hand-in-hand

This is an excellent article about the ramifications of privacy invasion and how they can often go beyond one person simply invading another person's privacy. This article brings forth the issues related to sexism in the workplace, how it happens and how it is often ignored or accepted, especially when it relates to women in nontraditional cAreers.

Erin Andrews, a sports journalist, became a victim of video voyeurism after someone shot video of her in a private moment through her hotel room peephole. While they are trying to catch the person who committed this act, the damage that this could cause to women who work in sports, specifically Erin, is enormous.

It is already difficult as the article outlines, because they sometimes must deal with athletes sexually harassing them and sometimes even assaulting them, while they are working as reporters. There is a level of disrespect for their work in the field as reporters, and this privacy invasion has created another hurdle for women.
