64. I'm going to answer your post carefully
Nobody should have to tolerate sleazy sexual advances. However, the mere existence of heterosexual men is not the problem. It's only a small percentage of men who harass women. I am not troubled when men respectfully approach me, and tolerate rejection respectfully. The men who treat women as objects are the problem. Now if the gay men showering at your gym followed you home yelling obscene comments (as has happened to me on multiple occasions) their behavior would be inappropriate and you would be justified in feeling threatened. But the mere existence of a homosexual men should not be a threat to you. If it is, you are homophobic (literally you feel threatened by homosexuals). Lumping ALL gay men as sexual harassers just because you have seen it happen on some occasions is bigotry plain and simple.
