It does happen, and those occurrences should be taken very seriously.
Personally I do not know any woman who has not been subjected to sexual harassment and sadly most have also experienced some variety of sexual assault. (I'm a therapist so people often open up to me, being clients or not)
I do also know a few men who have experences sexual harassment and couple that are survivors of sexual assault (it is definitely possible for a women to rape a man).
That being said it seems that at least in the USA a women is more likely to experence these then a man. Many women live their daily lives in attempt to reduce their risk of sexual violence. Often men don't develope these coping strategies unless they have had a bad experences.

As much? I'd say no. But they are more likely to get away with it, as there is a biased opinion that it isn't "as bad" for women to do so. Which is bullshit, it still isn't okay.
What Girls Said
I think so. I especially think there are many 12-16 year old boys who are secretly abused by older women who take advantage of their sentimentality and eagerness to please at that age.
It's happened to men I know and it messes them up. Any grown up who messes with teens is a mentally unhealthy person and the young guy, even if he's horny, isn't mentally prepared for the mental manipulation and abuse.It is definitely a thing sadly, although its usually not as present in women as it is in men that we here of.
