I'm in tech industry from ~2003. I worked in UZ, RU, SE, NL (third, second and first worlds!).
And I completely disagree with your statement:
> Let’s talk about an uncomfortable truth, sexual harassment and assault is common in the tech industry
I also disagree that it does make sense officially demonizing men by adding special clause to investment agreement.
If someone did something illegal go to the police.
If it's not directly illegal then it's a common conflict situation as if one male spit on face of another male.
I'm pretty sure you would not add special clause against "spitting on face" although it could happen.
Despite nobody add this special clause, I'm pretty sure it's not allowed and if you do that consequences of this action could be pretty serious.
What you want to add "makes a sexual advance towards" is very dangerous clause. After all, any flirt, any asking for date is exactly "makes a sexual advance towards".

We are not talking about a workplace romance, this is a very specific relationship, between founder and investor and it shouldn't be so hard for investors to know and clearly get the message that it is inappropriate.
