Of course everyone has varying experiences, I’m not trying to flatten that fact. When I say “typical” I’m refering to the fact that these types of incidents are more prevailent as an experience by women under the subjegation of a patriarchical culture that gives males a disproportionate amount pf privilege and status in such a society. I myself mentioned in my original post that it isn’t right for this to happen to men any more than women, but I think it’s disingenuous to claim these are equivalent experiences. I mentioned minorities and prejudice, and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to state that racism against white people, while it does exist, is a much different thing then what is experienced by minorities. Trying to create a false dichotomy equating male’s experience of sexual harrassment with women’s undermines the severity of the problem by trying to act like it’s a gender neutral issue, it isn’t. We can address both, but it would be wrong to conflate both as the same, we can draw parallels and definitely see lessons from each’s perspective, but we can’t paint both with a broad brush if we want to address what is the core issue with both.

Ya I got that. And what I’m saying is that from my own personal experience in this world, I do not see any evidence of this, at all.
Each side plays the cards its got. But each side has the same sleaze, the same depravity, and the same base human drives. They just operate within their own parameters, respectively. Each are equally shit (or good depending on your POV). You are not morally superior because you have an ovary or a testicle (or both or none).
This is also why it’s originally rage bait. Because it’s a completely childish view that most adults never truly snap out of.
