It's also possible that same-sex harassment is not on the rise, but that male victims feel more empowered about reporting abuse.
Nice title.
You think? Just like I'm sure sexual harassment didn't exist between men and women until it got reported.
In truth, sexual harassment of both genders has more to do with issues of control and abuses of power for the purpose of humiliation than with sexual attraction.
By exposing the men to taunts about their genitalia, sexually suggestive simulations, and lewd comments, the men perpetrating the harassment are seeking to embarrass and target the male victims—not sexually stimulate or "flirt" with them. "Sexual harassment is about using power in a way to hurt somebody," says Marcia McCormick, associate professor at Saint Louis University School of Law, who specializes in employment law and gender issues. In the Cheesecake Factory suit there were no allegations that supervisors were attracted to the other men—the sexual harassment was a form of intimidation, McCormick says.

Do we really want to open our lives up to speculation based on our posts? I'm thinking that would be a lose lose situation for you...
I got harrassed by a Gay manager for years.
It went from groping to stalking to threats and intimidation.
They finally fired him.

Melon, imagine my surprise when I read that you didn't find this funny.
I'm less concerned about you, as I know when you're joking, and more about some other people here who probably would like to think that gays are disgusting perverts preying on people at every opportunity.
But maybe this thread will be different. Who knows?

An acquaintance of mine once had to barricade his door to avoid the unwanted attentions of a gay flatmate.
Edit: That said I thought he was slightly gay himself so I don't know the full story.

I'm not sure I've been employing the use of profanity enough with my new username to allow people to recognize it's still me.
