Try to be an attractive male and you'll soon see there are many unwanted advances in your direction from women as well. Nothing is black and white.

- mcv 7y agoI've tried, but I haven't seen many unwanted advances in my direction from women.
- wvh 7y agoI see it happen, though there's obviously less of a threat to female advances due to physiological reasons. Then again, most sexual activity isn't driven by physical power and violence, and situations can turn pretty awkward also when women take things too far.
- dwaltrip 7y agoGenerally speaking, a man doesn't need to fear that the woman giving unwanted attention may try to physically overpower them. So while we shouldn't ignore any difficulties faced by men, the situation isn't the same. Obviously, this only applies to heterosexual situations.
- bitL 7y agoI'll give you an example - a female boss asked me to "come to her hotel room" during a weekend on her visit to my city, making it clear with her body language what she wanted. I declined. Half a year later my earned/promised promotion didn't happen. Another situation - a former female colleague, a married wife with children, during a business trip suggested I go to her "beautiful" rented apartment she wanted to show me and that I could sleep there; "pajamas not needed", "marriage is just marriage, it's not important". I declined; she went cold in subsequent mutual interactions, and as she was a close friend of my boss (I don't want to explore how close), boss started to be cold towards me as well. So no, there is no threat of physical violence, but there is a significant threat of unjust manipulation that for some reason is not on our society's radar at all. Shitty behavior comes in all genders, but only one is called out for it.
