    That’s not the flex you think it is.

    At a ratio of about a magnitude difference, I think it is. For every one woman committing assault, several men are doing the same.

    Not a problem worth preventing with a simple search filter?

    The main issue is the weaponization of that filter. The original purpose is addressing a problem as a band-aid, and the inverse is handing out a loaded gun. It’s not foolproof, but by the looks of these thousands of lawsuits, it’s better than nothing.

    I personally know 2 guys who’ve been sexually harassed and assaulted by women.

    What makes you think I haven’t been assaulted by women a couple of times? I’ve been sexually assaulted by men a whole lot more since I was 16. What’s your point? I know about 10 women who have suffered sexual and physical violence, and I know about four men who have suffered the same. We can’t deny this is a lopsided issue that affects a whole lot of people that we all know.
