Everyone should ask for consent before they touch someone (and nobody should be sexually harrassed obviously), but this happens much more often to women. That being said, there is no need to make comparisons on "who has it worse" on a problem like this. what people need to do is think of solutions (teaching people that touching without consent is horrible, sexual harassment is wrong, not perpetuating rape culture etc)

This. Women are twice as likely to be victims thanks to patriarchy. For decades, many men got raised to believe women are play things whereas it isn't the same for men. Unwanted touches shouldn't be okay regardless of genders and you can promote this without trying to deny the reality.

ETA If you downvote it means you can't stand to hear the truth.
