  18.  @Derael  That is all such massive cope to justify your shitty behavior. You don’t get to dictate how other men feel about sexual harassment on their behalf. It would be the exact same thing if deadshot touched her ass here. Ask yourself, why wouldn’t it be considered inappropriate if a woman did that? Because of our gender biases, that shouldn’t exist. You're saying that men don’t feel sexually harassed if their ass gets touched by a woman unprompted. That is nothing but sexist! I am a man and I’ve been sexually harassed by women before. It doesn’t matter that I’m significantly stronger, I can’t use that strength because if I do I’ll find myself in front of an ambulance and the police in no time. If you verbally communicate that you’re uncomfortable with it (like I did) and she just does it anyway, because she KNOWS that you can’t do anything about it since she would just scream and get every guy in the club to pile on you, then there’s nothing you can do. Women being able to exploit the victim angle for their own benefit gives them vastly more power in social settings. Because people like to root for the underdog, and we associate women with their weaker strength as the underdog that need to be protected when really this notion ends up going so far that they wield much more power from it. And the fact that you just completely ignore this and I try to tell me that I enjoyed it because I’m a man where sexual harassment is apparently not a thing is nothing but victim blaming

  26.  @Derael  "I don’t get to dictate how men feel" followed by "I am just making a generalization for all men" Buddy, you can’t honestly be this dense. How is the male status being abused for power? If you loudly proclaim you’re being harassed by that woman either people will find you weird, laugh at you, the woman will turn it around like you’re the problem, or all of them. But here’s the thing, what do norms and generalizations do when reality is much more complicated than that? Everyone is going to have their own different experiences, so you can’t just say that men take it less seriously, that just diminishes the severity of those that had those experiences and didn’t like it. The stakes aren’t any higher, you’re not going to get r*ped in a public club, that’s what I mean, women being seen as more vulnerable makes them much more protected like you’re proving right now, which goes around to taking the opposite less seriously like you’re doing right now. You’re confusing what is considered as "normal" behavior as morally right behavior. The only reason we consider it normal is because of our gender biases. It is "okay" because women are typically not treated as seriously as men, like how fights between two women are referred to as "catfights" because to other men it’s hilarious and adorable because they’re much stronger. However, this leads to women being able to go all out when fighting a man, and even when they do injure the man more than they got injured, the man is seen as the villain, even if he was holding back and even if she started it. That’s what I mean with exploitation of the victim status, it’s just your own impression that is somewhat founded in reality, but goes too far to actually be unfair even if we keep the strength difference between men and women in mind. So no, there is no "default acceptable sexual harassment", it’s always wrong. You’re saying women are just free to sexually harass a man when there hasn’t been any boundaries set prior, and only afterwards do they have to back off, that’s so sexist. Just because men generally don’t treat them as seriously in your mind, that can only lead to bad situations where a man is taken advantage of for that very notion. No, women shouldn’t be conditioned to just initiate sexual harassment, and you are actively trying to justify it which is disgusting.

  30.  @Derael  I think I would very much be afraid of getting sexually assaulted by her what the hell do you mean??? She’s an expert hand to hand combatant, are you STILL saying I would be the one with more power there and therefore shouldn’t have to complain about sexual harassment? Also, you’re ignoring a very crucial side of this that I want you to think about. Men’s stronger physical strength on average doesn’t make things relating to sexual harassment/assault better but worse for the man most of the time. Let me explain: Yeah a man might be able to overpower a woman most of the time when they’re alone, but anything with anyone in sight would immediately be noticed by others around them and get the man jumped on by half a dozen guys. Think about a typical scenario, a bar or club or something, men’s physical strength and the belief that they’re stronger is a huge negative, as they are constantly scared how far they can go because one second of the girl telling everyone you’re harassing means you’ll get your head bashed in. It’s a case of our innate desire to root for the underdog, and our primal instincts are that someone physically weaker is the underdog even though in our modern society there are plenty of different ways to get power. In no social environment with a bunch of people do women have less power, in fact it’s the opposite by everyone immediately siding with them if they choose to confront someone. A man is practically helpless against a woman because what can he do when she sexually harasses him even if she’s weaker? If she yells and tells everyone around you you’re a creep to her, you’ll have your face punched in by other guys. It’s not like you can use your physical strength in any way to get ahead in that situation, in fact it works as a downside in social environments. A woman can also always use their full strength to assault a man, and a man can’t back. It goes back to women not being taken seriously in their strength, like how women on women fights are called "catfights" because it’s seen as cute and unthreatening as two cats fighting another. That’s not really always the case though, a woman can injure a man far more than a man can back, even if he is already holding back, because a man is "supposed to take it like a man". If that’s not sexism against men I don’t know what is. Due to our nature of rooting for the underdog we always see women as inherently more vulnerable without realizing that this cavemen level of thinking doesn’t really hold true in the modern world and that women actually hold more power in those situations by being able to rally the support of anyone around her against a man if she so chooses to.
