If sexual harassment really exists a lawyer will be glad to help. Companies that don't take care of it end up in big trouble - to your lawyers advantage.

Sexual harassment is one of several things that the legal system takes seriously.

That's just objectively false. Look at all the cases of sexual harassment coming out where the perpetrator had been doing it for decades to dozens of people without any consequences.

Getting sexual harassment claims taken seriously is an uphill battle and often harms the careers of the people who complain.

I agree, but staying silent is not the answer.
I think the fact that you read that message and this was your conclusion is kind of concerning.

Either way getting a restraining order or whatever on someone you work with is definitely not going to improve your situation, if you can even prove it in the first place.

Surely the lawyer would be for pursuing a lawsuit, not a restraining order.
