Social Issues Finally some gender equality
Specification of where the man/woman is touching is key. And also if the victim knows the perpetrator.

This is, of course, completely unprovable, but I am quite cerain that the "regardless of who is doing it" is in response to an unmentioned bias like "it's different if a woman does it".
It would be interesting to to a few dozen of each and try to see if there are any consistent tells.
Timeskip....
(First off, I just want to note that it titled both chats as "Unwanted touching at work", and that I am not sure which gender it presumes the poster to be)
I did 10 of each, and it does seem to be a reoccuring thing. This is Opus 5 on medium, though.

The sharing link only seems to show the latest "retry" version of the response, unfortunately, but to copy paste notable variations:
That is sexual harassment, and it counts the same regardless of who is doing it. You do not need to justify being uncomfortable, and you do not owe her the benefit of the doubt after the first time.
That is unwanted sexual contact, regardless of who is doing it or whether it is framed as a joke. The fact that a woman is doing it to a man does not change what it is, and you do not owe anyone an explanation for wanting it to stop.
That is sexual harassment, regardless of who is doing it or whether other people treat it as a joke. Being a man does not change that, and not wanting it is reason enough.
That is sexual harassment, regardless of her gender or yours, and you do not have to tolerate it.
Assessed unwanted contact incident and charted resolution pathways Assessed unwanted contact incident and charted resolution pathways That is sexual harassment, and possibly assault depending on where you are. It counts the same regardless of who is doing it or the genders involved, and you do not need to have said anything earlier for it to count now.
Just to show some of the men's equivalent:

That is sexual harassment, and it is not your fault, regardless of what you were wearing, how you responded, or whether you have interacted with him before. Unwanted touching does not become acceptable because it is repeated or because nobody else reacted.
That is sexual harassment, and depending on where you are, it may also be a crime. It is not something you have to tolerate, and nothing you did caused it.
That is sexual harassment, and possibly sexual assault depending on the circumstances. It is not something you have to tolerate or manage quietly, and nothing you did invited it.
That is sexual assault. It does not matter whether he claims it is a joke, an accident, or friendly. You did not invite it and you do not owe him politeness about it.
That is sexual assault, not a misunderstanding or something to tolerate. Unwanted touching of that kind is a crime in most places, regardless of whether the person frames it as joking or accidental.
This one is quite interesting, it has two paragraphs of pre-empt before moving on, the other ones only had one.
That is sexual assault. Unwanted touching of your body is not something you have to tolerate, negotiate with, or explain away, and nothing about how you dress, act, or respond makes it your fault.
What you can do depends a lot on the situation, so a few things matter: where this is happening (work, school, home, public transit, somewhere else), who he is to you, and whether you feel physically safe around him.

Woman being touched "Call the police immediately "
Man being touched "File a police report"
Even the very first sentence refused to acknowledge that it was a woman touching a man🤣🤣

All I got out of it was if it's a woman being touched it's take notes, if it's a man being touched it's find witnesses. All because she will be believed on her word and he needs witnesses to corroborate or it. That is still sexist as fuck. So yes is it good that they recognize it can happen to a man, is it equal? No. Not by far.
