Why can women get away with sexual harrassment and men can't?

It's inconsistent, and it should change so women cannot get away with it.

Because they are afraid that women will do that to them if they dont do it to women first.  Law of the Jungle, eat or be eaten, your either pretitor or pray.

because society has ingrained it into us to have the mentality that men can do whatever they please and that women have this precious virginity they are to guard against all except their husbands and they are to submit to them. a woman who sleeps around is synonymous of power and independance and belongs less to her future hubby than she would if he were the only one she ever "gave herself to" its all societal--you wont find that to be true in matriarcal societies...

It actually works the same way as with a female, when the guy or girl says stop and the girls doesn't...that is all it takes, but a guy most likely will not come out and admit he was raped.

You're just figuring that out now?  In some cases, men are worse than women, especially when they all get together at bars or coffeehouses...yeah...men are big gossippers, they're just better at hiding it than women.

What do you mean, legally entitled to commit theft? We men just have to be, more strict and controlling now days, to keep women from deciving, betrayi8ng and stealing. It would help to catch them red handed, too.

The answer lies in whether the advance was welcome or not welcome.  It's never appropriate to pat a woman on the behind unless you're in an established relationship with her and it's not offensive to her.  Americans have 18" on average of personal space that should not be intruded upon.  In both of your examples, it is sexual harassment but it's also the woman's prerogative to press charges.

I agree, I always wondered that myself. I work with a lot of women who talk about women can do everything a man can do, but let a heavy box land in front of them and it's like they forgot everything they said about their abilities.

Can women be accused of sexual harrasment?\n\nShould voting be compulsory?\n\nElectoral College, Yay or Nay?\n\nDo video games lead to violent behavior?

In the UK it is a case of one mans words against a womans. \nThe womans sexual history is dragged through the courts while the law protects the mans from being talked about because his past history means nothing ?????\nIf there is evidence of lack of consent then it mans a lot. But often there's nothing (think about how often a woman would want to sit around in the police station feeling disgusting and to be subjected to intimate examinations after that kind of ordeal).

Yes, women can rape men, men can rape men, men can rape women and women can rape women.  There are many cases where assailants are gay.

This may not be universal truth. However, history shows that women have been the biggest enemies of women! whether socially, financially or otherwise. So you can imagine that if one gender does not respect itself, what could be the consequences. I think women very well understand this yet....?!

All women say, men don't listen to them, it's true....You just got caught in the act. No big deal, I'm sure you will do it about 9 million more times during your life, is just part of being a guy, we can't listen to all that crap, 24/7.

that damn gloria allred. here's the kicker, they abuse sexual harrasment laws. \n\nmen are at times stupid, but women prove they can be just as if not more at times.  they suffer from the "why me?" syndrome that most minorities also suffer from. THe "wa, wa, wa.. Pay ME or i'll sue" syndrome

Men don’t get subtleties. If a woman has a problem she should tell the man. If she doesn’t say anything then he will assume nothing is wrong and therefore not realize he has something to apologize for. If he even does.
