(8,170 posts)"... often enough by women ..." "... males do it more often than women ..." what sort of proportions are we talking here? One woman for every 100 men? One for every 1,000? One for every 100,000? What are you trying to imply? You should be saying "... rarely by women ..." and "... males do it overwhelmingly more often than women ..." if you are to be in accord with reality. I suspect you might be willing to say something like "someone I knew worked in a garment factory/kitchen/electronics assembly line and the women harassed him mercilessly," if you do cite the factory otherwise you might be taking MRA bullshit seriously.
"People in a position of power: physical or managerial or simply weight of numbers are often guilty of harassment and that harassment can be sexual or racial or some other way of expressing dominance ..." Funny I do not see many women in positions of power, physical or managerial although your weight of numbers criteria might be valid, but as noted above - citation needed.
What you seem to miss, or try to excuse, is that the type of harassment is almost exclusively male on female. It happens on the street, in clubs and pubs, at work and on holiday. The demeaning of women as only being worthy of admiration for their looks and sexuality is so common we hardly notice it.
