Some weeks ago, while I was scrolling down my wall on Facebook, I saw a video that caught my attention. In the video, the actors were conducting a comparative social experiment on the reaction of bystanders to sexual harassment instances with a man as the victim and also instances that has a woman as the victim. The aim of the experiment was to establish that men too are sometimes victims of sexual harassment.

In the video, a lady was made to touch and speak to a man in an appropriate manner in public. The man refused the advances and screamed for help. Bystanders gave him little or no attention. They just sat there watching and laughing. There was even a guy that walked up to him and said he was crazy for turning down sexual advances from a lady.

Later in the video, they had the guy make sexual advances toward the lady (exactly like she did earlier). Surprisingly, people rushed to her defense even before she verbally refused the advances. It got so serious that some people even threatened to hit the man if he kept touching the lady. So I asked myself some disturbing questions; why couldn’t they rush to defend the guy as well? Who would people just decide men can’t also be victims of sexual harassment?
