B) after the court certifies the case as appropriate for processing as a class action, most defendants prefer to settle rather than face public testimony by numerous employees about pervasive sexual harassment, with an accompanying risk of high damages.
C) lawyers who take these cases can "buffalo" (i.e., bamboozle) the jury into believing that there was sexual harassment.
D) employers don't want their cases turned into movies like North Country, Nine to Five, Hostile Advances and Working Girl.
