Default Sexual assault

"But problems might develop as these people are exposed. It's getting pretty easy for a woman to simply accuse a man of something that might have happened years ago in order to ruin his life. I would guess that there are plenty of vindictive women out there that might be thinking about getting someone back for some kind of issue that was not sexual harassment."

Two things:

1. why does it matter when it was done or if it ruins his life. If he did it, he ruined her life!
2. where do you get off "guessing" plenty of vindictive women out there that might be thinking about getting someone back for some kind of issue that was not sexual harassment."
That seems very judgmental. It seems you have forgotten to judge the men who have actually done it, no matter when they did it. This is why it has become so pervasive in our society. If a man does something inappropriate he should face up to it. If a woman does something inappropriate she should face up to it. When a person has been sexually assaulted it is far more serious than if they had their purse snatched for instant. A person's psychological well being when bruised usually stays bruised. No excuses should be accepted.

I think how each of us look at this and how we feel about this issue has a lot to do with our own personal history.

All people need to learn how to handle the strongest urge we all are gifted with, next to self preservation.
By "strongest urge..." I believe you are referencing sexual drive, but many times incidents of harrassment have more to do with power than sexual gratification.

The worst I've heard about are men who prey on children or minors.

I agree to a certain extent. Powe is what leads to the ability to sexually harrass someone. But sexual gratification plays a part in that as well, IMO.

Sexual gratification is very subjective. Power and sex can be mutually satisfying.
