Women have long been the victims of various forms of violence and harassment. This issue has been widely discussed and addressed by many women’s rights groups, and significant progress has been made in raising awareness of the issue and combating it in various ways. However, the flip side of this problem also exists, which is often ignored. Women who harass men, file false charges, or get away with assaulting men are rarely talked about. It is high time that these women are called out and protested against.


It is a common misconception that women cannot harass or abuse men. The truth is that any form of unwanted sexual attention, or physical, or psychological trauma inflicted upon males is also harassment. Unfortunately, there is a tendency to overlook or trivialize issues concerning men. This unjustified attitude can often lead to men being left vulnerable, with no recourse or recourse that can cause more harm than good.


A significant form of abuse that many men face is the filing of false charges. These charges can be about sexual assault, harassment, or physical abuse that did not happen. It’s an injustice that isn’t only suffered by individuals who are wrongfully convicted, but also by those who are traumatized by the court process and social consequences that come with such allegations. Men who are proven innocent still face social exclusion, employment difficulties, and character assassination.


Another issue that needs to be addressed is the fact that women who assault men often get away with it. The issue of double standards in such cases is astounding. Men are expected to endure the aggression or are often blamed for provoking the attack. This expectation is not only appalling, but it can also lead to men becoming timid and suffering from severe psychological traumas. Like women, men also need to feel safe and secure, and they deserve to be protected and justice to be served when they become victims of abuse.


If left unchecked, these women who harass men, press false charges, and get away with assaulting men may form an extremist group in the future.  Extremism is a term that can trigger a lot of responses but such a group may become a legitimate concern if men continue to be marginalized and not given their share of the spotlight. Most importantly this can not be the answer to age-old chauvinism and the malpractices of patriarchy. 


In conclusion, the issue of harassment and assault should not be gender-driven. Women who harass men, press false charges, or get away with assaulting men shouldn’t get a free pass. They should be held accountable for their actions. Failure to do so may fuel resentment among men who are left feeling victimized, which could lead to dire consequences. Men who are victims of abuse should not be ignored, and their rights to justice deserve protection like women. Both genders need to work together to build safe spaces for everyone.
