I can tell you though that my son (he’s in his 20s) has had harassment from women, sometimes in the street (once when he was just 17) and work. He’s quite a muscly guy and the number of certain type of women who think it’s okay to squeeze his biceps has quite astonished me. It does happen to men too, I didn’t realise the extent until it happened to him. And men often don’t feel like they can report either, or at least my son didn’t, he felt embarrassed. Like he’s meant to take it as a compliment??
Assault/harassment is never okay whatever gender you are.

Agreed. Although statistically women are more likely to be harassed, men often are as well. Just ask men in caring professions (like nurses) or customer service ( like waiters) what they have to put up with.
