More Men Claim Sexual Harassment

I work with an agency that helps teach young people still in high school respect boundaries. It was a shock when we began to see more and more females having to take part of our agency. We not only have this kids appointed by court to help with counseling but also to make sure they complete their community service with a legit placement. We have seen just how sexually aggressive the females have become over the past few years. I have no problem believing that the men are finally saying enough is enough just as we women did and are now taking a stand to have their rights heard as well.

Anyone, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, should be able to work in an environment without sexual harassment. Granted, allegations of abuse are not easy to prove (nor should they be), but when proven, it should not matter to whom the abuse was directed. It should just stop and the abuser fired. Companies, large and small, need to be more sensitive to this. I have known women who used their position to flirt with subordinates, and it wasn't pleasant for anyone to see.

I thin kthat more men are speaking up. Now-a-days men aren't as pressured to be strong and try to brush the female harasser off. They'll report it!

I think too much stress is placed on identifying male and female, especially when it comes to crimes. It doesn't matter if the incident was intentional, if the victim feels as if he/she has been sexually harassed, he/she has been effected mentally and emotionally.To them it is as if they really were. Sex has nothing to do with it. We need to stop profiling, horrible things happen to both sides; when we tear down the barriers between each other we will only then be able to see who the villains really are.

** ".... or is it that men are now feeling they can speak up about it?" *** I think it's because they know their rights and just aren't afraid or ashamed to speak up.

Both men and women need to be stronger. Of course sexual harassment happens. There are indeed still neanderthals about! In the 60s and 70s it was really rampant because women were beginning to assert themselves and vie for jobs which had previously been male dominated, and men just didn't get it! I used to run across it more times than you can imagine! We all need to rise above all of that nonsense. We are all equals. If either a male or female "harasses" an employee, that employee needs to grow up and stand firm. Stop all the reporting, litigation, and behaving like the "weaker sex"! Unless it is truly a criminal act, we simply need to stand up for ourselves and inform the harasser that he/she needs to STOP.

Many of them still look like a neighbor next door. One day I was doing volunteer work and called on this really nice man with a friend in my community. Then after I introduced him to my husband we came home, he downloaded some applications to his new phone, and we found him on the sex offender application list. It's crazy. I've probably only seen 1 woman offender.

I think that men are becoming more relaxed with expressing their feelings and not being ashamed of what others may feel. Also, I believe nowadays it is more accepted that a man is able to share their feelings about abuse or other issues.

as if it is any easier for women to prove that they were sexually harrassed? i just find that SOME of the claims (around my work place/department floor) are because they can't stand that a women is bossing them around or the fact that they just dislike thier boss telling them that they made huge mistakes in their work, in which they deserved to be chewed out on. i am not deny that SH doesn't happen for the men though, but i will not file for something unless i have solid proof, unless you will just be another person who just cried wolf.

Is it really true? If you compare how strong a Man can be if they really have to, to protect there selfs?, some i believe do have problems to see a woman being the Boss. So how will we know, or better when do we know its true?Not like that they cant defend there selfs?
