Isn’t it strange how every woman knows someone who’s been sexually harassed but no man seem to know any harasser?

Why, OP, are you being so toxic in all your answers? Sure there are men who harassed or are still harassing women and every one is one enough. But pointing out that some of us don’t know anyone personally who is guilty of doing such isn’t downplaying. Even IF I would say “NOT ALL MEN!1!!” doesn’t mean shit. It doesn’t mean “yeah, you are exxagerating” or “this problem isn’t that big as you try making it” It’s just a “I don’t really want to be associated with that kind of male scum.” Nothing more, nothing less.
But IF you wanted to say “Distancing in a post is not enough to stop this.” you could have said it, instead of trying to drive a wedge.
Do it and try to have a constructive dialog instead, maybe?
Not with those clearly incapable of listening, let alone not centre themselves and make it all about how they aren’t part of the problem despite actively being part of the problem
The problem you are creating is driving away the ACTUAL discourse into meta discussions like this and angering those who actually ARE listening in the first place. You are NOT helping the case - at all.
Edit: I just want to make it clear: Your claim isn’t true and thus cannot be a healthy start for a deep and honest discussion about harrasment.
