I meant to link here the phrase "online sexual harassment", only I could not find a section about it. I was surprised to find nothing about sexual harassment in public places -- only in work or military situations. I looked in the Talk archive, & see at least one reference to this omission. And looking at the category, there is no article about sexual harassment in public places, not even an article
catcall. (Note that is a redirect.) Is this too controversial -- that is, vulnerable to a vicious edit war leading to ArbCom intervention -- a topic to create an article about? --

Always male
This article tries hard to omit the fact that the "perpetrator" is always male and not female. I propose to clarify this and state explicitly that males are considered at fault in most of cases in this article if nobody objects. Best. AXONOV(talk)⚑ 13:33, 6 January 2024 (UTC)reply
I'd say that quite a few of the references and several sections of the article contradict this addition, for example, the PEW research study indicating that 25% of women and 13% of men had experienced sexual harassment (source 26).

Women can sexually harass men or even other women.

Only in minority of cases. Most of the time it's men in higher positions of employment who take advantage of subordinate women than otherwise. AXONOV(talk)⚑ 15:35, 6 January 2024 (UTC)reply
There cannot be contradictions over here cause many studies are overhelmingly about women, not men. E.g. often cited
[1] is a gynocentric study. AXONOV(talk)⚑ 15:39, 6 January 2024 (UTC)reply
Further, cases like
Jenson v. Eveleth Taconite Co. where men are the blamed party and women are victims, indicates support for the said proposal. I can continue, but I got little time actually to dig it up more. AXONOV(talk)⚑ 15:49, 6 January 2024 (UTC)reply
It happens both ways and that should be mentioned.
https://humanrights.gov.au/our-work/sexual-harassment-workplace-key-findings-overview Case study: 70% of cases were men sexually harassing women, 19% women sexually harassing men, 9% men sexually harassing men, 2% involved women sexually harassing women. That's just in Australia. You can find case studies in other nations.
