I think it is minority of men doing the same thing again and again and again. Verbal sexual harassment is specifically something that one person can do to many others within short time.

But I remember reading that rapes are similar. One person is doing it multiple times till he get caught.

That's a good point. As a men, I am always like in total shock when I read about some of these stories. I always think? What who does that? I never ever even thought of doing that? And wondered like, am I the outlier? Do everyone else just call their coworkers to their office waiting for them with their member out? How come so many women have had that experience?

But I think it is very possible like you said that a few can impact a lot of women by just repeated behavior. Somehow I hope so at least.

I hope so. It would be appalling if it was a majority of men. I don't think we can really state that as a fact without more research though.
