The worst stories of sexual harassment I've heard have always been from women in the social sciences. I commented on this to two girls doing PhD's in social psychology, who were describing harassment by their faculty, and they agreed and thought that this was due to self-licensing[0]. That is, these faculty who had proven to themselves that they were good liberals, then had less qualms about their own behavior.
