I would assume people in positions of power / wealth are more likely to engage in these types of behavior.

- yibg 7y agoPossibly, but at least in the news it’s been primarily men. Could be just reporting bias. Would be interesting if there were actual numbers though.
- Aloha 7y agoI suspect its reporting bias by the victims, male victims of sexual harassment/rape are often not taken seriously.
- celticmusic 7y agoIn addition, many men don't consider a lot of behaviors as sexual harassment, and so think nothing of it.
- rossdavidh 7y agoIf we look at the behavior of alpha males vs. alpha females in other non-human mammalian species, it suggests that it is at least more common among alpha males. Not that it couldn't also happen with females.
- solipsism 7y agoWhat do non-human mammalian species have to do with anything? Few things vary across species more than sexual behavior. Even chimps and bonobos (very closely related, same genus) have wildly different gender roles, sexual/mating patterns, etc. It makes no sense at all to invoke the entire of mammalia.
