Why do you think the Law defends more women than men when it is related to sexual cases?

[kitty71]

I mean some say or believe women are more protected than men beacuse they are more prone to suffer more and also women are more fragile when it comes to sexual issues. For example when there is a sexual harrasment case where the woman is the victim but I ask myself what if tables were turned, men will not be defended with the same equity as women you believe?

Do you think it is fair that men are not like lets say "important" when maybe is the woman who sexual harrass a guy? I mean women also do that and there are terrible women doing that but men do not report those cases and they are in minority. Also men now can't say nice compliemnts to a woman (strangers or known people) because these woman say it is sexist. Of course the exception is if the compliment or the cat calling is vulgar and do disrespect a woman. But even many women do not feel even comortable receiving compliments from guys anymore, they do not like it if they do not feel comfortable even if it is a innocent compliment, but many women say, when a guy do that has an ulterior motive and it is always comes down to being a sexual thing. There is a lady I was talking and told me that even if her partner gives her a nice compliment not disrespectful or sexual, she said to me "I dont need a compliment from anyone, not even my partner, I dont need no guy to tell me anything on the street or at work or anyone not even from a guy I know much less a stranger"

Let me point a case that just happen last week in my country. Of course in this case I do agree this guy was reported and sanctioned for one month because of what he said to a coworker, he went overboard by saying what he said to this woman.

It was a case between 2 coworkers in a governmental office. The guy texted her messages with sexual content such as "Nice pants" or "what a juicy butt" or "what a

delicious mouth". The employee also patted the woman on the shoulder without her consent and she told the guy "Do not touch me" and the woman felt uncomfortable by that and the guy even went to the victim`s house to explain her husband nothing happened, (the nerve of this guy!!)

The man made some remarks about the lady`s clothes over texts where he said what a nice pair of pants and they look good on you and in other time when they ran each other at the office he said to her

What a nice blouse. However i n time those remarks turn into inappropriate gazes from him to her from head to toe when the lady stood up to greet clients or pic up something from the floor and the lady felt uncomfortable and it was done several time. Now in the country I live, there is a new law (done to protect women) that punish men when there is a case of cat calling if a woman felt uncomfortable. Now guy can't even say something nice, he can be sued as it can be misinterpreted by a woman.

I will tell you this, and I know a lot of guys don't like to hear this but it is the truth:

Women face fewer consequences for sexual crimes and cases because male authorities are sexually aroused by grown women having sex with kids, performing oral sex on teen boys, or being sexually aggressive with a male victim period, so these male officers, judges, etc. aren't going to be as harsh with these women, especially if she's very attractive. Half of them even wish they could've had the experience with the woman. And because if a woman actually manages to overpower a man and harass or rape him, male authorities will wonder why/how a man let that happen to himself.

The way these cases with women offenders should be handled is with female judges and prosecutors, as these also are the kinds of cases that should have more women jurors on them than men, instead of pulling that shit on all kinds of serious trials. Women are more likely to punish their own gender for sexual crimes, especially with children because women authorities will think about their own kids. Male authorities are - I hate to say it - thinking about their own penises or jealously wishing they could've had their teacher give them head when they were a kid, or their female manager make moves on them when they got their first summer job.

It is a double standard. Men approaching women at work, unless she likes him, are a big no no. But women approaching men? Totally different. Im married and i have had multiple women approach me at work.

And women are sly in their approach to showing interest. Guys are blunt, usually compliment a female or ask for a date. But women give gifts or food, invite for lunch or coffee... the efforts are subtle so you can't understand their intention. In one case i became close friends with a female coworker and had an affair with her which i ended. That went very bad in the workplace, obviously.

So when other women approach me now it makes me very uncomfortable. But when I report it everyone laughs and says im just a "stud" and complaining about a problem no other man would complain about.

[PinkMichae]

Personally I think people go to far with labeling certain acts as sexual harrassment. However maybe men aren't as offended when they get hit on or maybe embarrassed to report it.

For example my son had a coworker tell me that my son is such a cutie. Me or my son were not offended by that. We thought it was nice. But if it was a guy that called a girl a cutie, she may get uncomfortable and report it as sexual harrassment.

Women are seen as more weak because physically a lot are. The majority of men can overpower the majority of women do to their biologic make up. There's obviously exceptions to this. But this is one of the reasons more women get raped than men.

I think no matter what sex you are, if another person is flirting with you and it makes you uncomfortable I would tell them to stop. If they didn't then report it. No matter if you are a guy or girl.

[Seinna]

Because women are more likely to be victims because majority of perpetrators are men and most of people are straight. And because a woman is unlikely to physically defend from an assault by a man, while a man can usually defend from an assault by a woman. Power inequality always means that the weaker party is more protected.

That's not to say that men aren't sometimes victims and I believe as a society we should treat it very seriously. But a male sexual victim is not the same as a female sexual victim unless he was raped by a man/with a dildo. Sex is not on equal terms, one person is taking control from the other. That's why a sexual assault is such a heinous crime, you take away that person's dignity.

Then there's the fact that sexual harrassment is basically whenever the person feels they've been harrassed, not by what was actually done.

[GlassTop]

Yes yes we get it all women are victims.

I think it's the fact that theoretically wjen it comes to rape not sexuall assault, it is harder for a woman to rape a man rather than the other way arouns due to the difference in strength and the fact that the guy would somehow have to be hard, not saying that it doesn't happen as it does I just can see how the thought process behind that. However when it comes to sexual assault I feel like men don't report it enough as they feel pressured by society to like it and be into it and instead they should "like" what is happening to them because what guy wouldn't be into a woman making the first move, Unfortunately that pressure comes from other men in society who are like "I'd love it if it happened to me why are you complaining".

[more_than_a_guy]

Just because it's harder for women to rape, doesn't mean it's less bad and can have less sentence. Also, women also threat the men with weapons or psychological threats.

[AndrésC64]

I think it's a combination of people being overly sensitive and people being rude and disrespectful. As you mentioned many guys are scared to even make a compliment for fear of it being taken as harassment. But there are also guys who actually do her ass and this has made everybody feel like they have to walk around on eggshells. I also think that there is a double standard for men and women when it comes to how the harassment or idea of harassment is perceived. I think there's still the idea that men want it or at least should "man up" and take it.

[AndrésC64]

her ass 😂 I think that's what's called a Freudian slip

*harass

Because it started off in the past when it made sense. You had women whose sexual value was tied up in their virginity. So if you abuse them rape them sexualize them too much it can ruin their marriage prospects. Rape is not simply shaking hands when it keeps the woman from finding a husband.

Today though dont even ask me how it makes sense. You have girls basically having a gangbang with 100 men. Some normal guy gets in line with everyone else, the girl accepts him into her and then later on she says hey wait that was 101 men and NOT WHAT I CONSENTED TOO REEEEE RAPE REEEEEE like she's now permanently ruined. Smh. She didn't even freaking notice it was that emotionally ruinous to her. Yeah an extreme example but you get the idea. How would this not be like shaking hands? The logic of the law makes no sense these days when it clearly did in the past.

[ZackBan]

It stems from the classic belief that women can not overpower men.
You know that there was a time women were pretty much second class citizens and this they had far less rights but far less responsibility as well.
Today feminists are demanding more rights but tefuse to take the responsibility that goes with it. And that means doing all the things that men do and being judged equality by the law.
But the current reality is convenient for them si why making their lives harder?

[lrina]

back many many years ago, raping someone or anyhow sexually offending them could easily ruin her entire life. but now, some women are too sensitive to the point where they can call anything harassment. like just giving a normal compliment can easily be seen as harassment, even though it obviously isn't. so nowadays, it is quite unfair that males have to suffer from this.

[Kaneki05]

It's pretty simple who ever was the sexual abuser no matter if woman or man they often are protected and get away with it. Women could just argue it was the other way around, men just deny it ever happened. And the victim often goes unheard to no justice.
So I would just say who ever the abuser is there normally more protected don't matter their sex.

[Gwenhwyfar]

I don’t think the law does defend women unequally in criminal law. In civil cases the law defends whoever has the better case and the better lawyers.

Update: guys like this are why we have laws to protect women (and men, and nonbinary people) in the first place

[OddBeMe]

Yes, women are 10x more likely to be victims instead of perps. But that does lead to issues of “benefits of the doubt” and alike. Not always, not even usually. Just occasional.

[msc545]

Men are punished severely for sexual behavior. Women are rewarded for that same behavior.

[kitty71]

why women are rewarded

[msc545]

Women are special. Men are treated like garbage.

[kitty71]

I agree and not all men are like that

[msc545]

This is not about men actually are - it is about how we are treated by the legal system and by women and by many other entities. We are treated as being disposable.

[Heartache0405]

You’re not wrong, @msc545
And women and apparently men too will do whatever they can to make it seem false

[msc545]

@Heartache0405 Yes, exactly. Women are skilled liars.

[msc545]

NAMALT LOL!!

[y_usef]

Because women are more important than men, they have a stronger personality and they dominate men easily

[kitty71]

What if the tables were turned?

[Anonymous]

It goes beyond sexual cases... a man and a woman going to court is like a black vs a white going to court. Its very biased. Why? I dont know. Simp judges?

[JessieBellll]

There is a bias
