Registered surgeons - men and women - were invited to take part completely anonymously and 1,434 responded. Half were women:

63% of women had been the target of sexual harassment from colleagues 30% of women had been sexually assaulted by a colleague 11% of women reported forced physical contact related to career opportunities At least 11 incidents of rape were reported 90% of women, and 81% of men, had witnessed some form of sexual misconduct

The 81% men stat, that’s emblematic that this isn’t being overstated. Sounds like a real shitshow. I’m not suggesting that men are more credible. Only that they’re less-likely to report the issue. If four out of five will admit that there’s a problem, holy shit. There’s a problem.
