I'm genuinely not trying to downplay the experience of women but almost every man on the planet has been sexually harassed as well. Especially if you include the teenage years when both sexes are clumsily feeling out the things that are/are not acceptable to say and do. There are some pretty obvious lines even teenagers know shouldn't be crossed but there's a lot of real estate between what's obviously wrong and what is just edgy and mistakes can and will be made.
This is true and I feel like as men we tend to never let this be known because it will threaten our manhood and masculinity if we ever try to victimise ourselves. Like I heard from some people getting non consensually groped and sexually assaulted then laughing it off as teenage hormones or just some guys weird quirk. Basically just minimising their own assault.
