When powerful men stop abusing their power?

• sampo 9y ago
  When powerful people stop abusing their power. A large majority of harassing is probably done by men, but it's not 100% men.

    Part of the problem here is the culture of toxic masculinity and the acceptance of harassing behavior by men as being normal, even expected. Even though it's not 100% about men, it still being almost entirely about men and the culture among men which equates sexual aggression with status and power still makes the discussion worth framing in those terms.

      > it still being almost entirely about men We cannot know that. It has not been researched, and the victims don't talk about it. There was a time, in Finland, when everyone assumed that domestic violence is "almost entirely about men", research proposals were ridiculed and not funded. When they eventually studied the topic, 20% of the perpetrators turned out to be women, and in aggravated assaults 50%.
