@chu There's something I find fascinating in reading the comments. I had to go back and reread the article to make sure I didn't miss a signal.

In no way did the advertisement imply that they're representing women who were harassed by men. Nor did the CBC article.

Yet a significant percentage of the comments assumed it.

I know that it is more common for women to be the victims here than men. And women should absolutely be treated with respect in the workplace that is generally afforded to men. I've seen plenty.

But men are still often the victims of harassment, either by women or by other men. And those who are deserve acknowledgement and support, too.

Reread the article like I did. The only genders mentioned in it are the owner of the business who was putting up the ad, and the judge who issued the ruling. And even then they were mentioned only in the sense of casual pronoun use.

Chu, I am not pointing at you here. You responded appropriately to @JoeHenzi and so I don't want to discount that.

@mweiss @chu @JoeHenzi in general female-presenting people are way more frequently harassed, and that's just statistics.

it does not mean that there's no harassment going the other way or that there is no same-gender harassment going on, of course, but these cases will be more rare.
