This article in Psychology Today is relevant: Behind the Veil: Inside the Mind of Men "That Abuse" The article largely addresses domestic abuse in the home by men against women (mostly spouses) but the underlying symptoms of abusers manifest themselves in the work place as well. I will extract one paragraph: "Men that are abuse are very clever, smart, and extremely charming. Most of these men have a personality that draws people in because of their level of charm this is part of their art to deceive and manipulate. This is why often times when a victim does report an assault she is not easily believed because people usually say “not him, he is so nice’ “you are so lucky”, All of this plays into his because if he gets people outside of the home to buy into his deceit the victim has little if no support. Most batterers are seen as “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" because of the stark contrast in their public and private selves." While many "white men in power" can be tagged as sexual harassers, both at home and the work place, I would not attach that as a stereotype of these particular men. The problems goes beyond just this demographic.

It's medical - not my fault. Loser. This isn't the only demographic either. I was chatting with my neighbor a few days ago and we were discussing other neighbors as well as the property owner and his maintenance man. The maintenance man attempted to grope one of the people who pays rent, when she told me about it, I was not that surprised or shocked at all because I noticed whenever he has effected a rental clients, and if they were females he rented a flat to, he seemed attracted to them like a firefly around a bright lamp, he kept coming back to their apartments and trying to make himself a part of their immediate family. His only power is either renting to people or not, if you can call that power or powerful, he can also evict people if he wishes, he has just about all the powers of a landlord, but he is not an owner of the property. I also believe he doesn't like black people because I have seen black apartment seekers come here, but none were ever rented to. The landlord has 8 flats here, none of the renters are Latino or black. Most renters here are single females with financial problems or ex man friend problems. I consider the maintenance man to be an opportunist, one who would take unfair advantage of a person who has problems or has had problems in the past.
