Men aren't impervious to sexual harassment, that's true. But in my career women have been overwhelmingly on the receiving end. I've seen a woman not be hired by a male interviewer because she was "too hot", I've had one woman tell me she was groped, a number been subject to unwanted sexual advances, and I've seen male staff cat call. I've had a manager massage me out of the blue. It's a gendered problem, the statistics bear this out, and acknowledging that is necessary in order to address it.

That's not the point I was making.

Again, yes, Not Only Men, but there is a gender component to this that I am acknowledging.
