I just see it as sexist. "Appears to be much higher" is an unscientific basis for sexism. I think that this might just be because members of this community are mostly men, so male->female harassment being more common is a statistical certainty. But the same goes for the ratio of, for example, heterosexual men to homosexual men, and anyone in those demographics affected by harrassment are left out in the cold. We have a [dead] example in this thread of a male victim who has been the target of female harassment.
You don't fight sexist behavior with more sexist behavior. Just conduct the survey of everyone. Use demographics after the fact to establish trends, don't go into it with bias.
In other words: the methodology used here literally covers up sexual harassment. It's just a sex no one cares about.
