It’s hard for men to admit it publicly. Very few have the nerve to even talk about it. But a growing number of men claim they have been misled, their anger rising to dangerous levels.
Despite the bluster and muscle flexing, the men are easy victims. Not even our laws give them any protection. A woman can scream rape and everybody comes to her aid. But a man can get into trouble and charged with sexual harassment if he as much as drop a bad word, or give a woman an amorous look, or worse, ignore the advances of a flirt.
If a man cries rape, many people will laugh. If a man cries sexual harassment, his friends will think he is trying to call attention to his good looks and charming personality. “Sus, yabang,” his friends would probably say.
