What Women Want Men To Know About Abuse And Sexual Harassment

Male Intervention, Fear of Confrontation and Physical Harassment

The panel discusses why men are often afraid to intervene in harassment, citing a fear of physical retaliation from other men. Jonnie and Glenn share rare instances where they were touched inappropriately by women or in gay clubs, noting that while they felt shock, they did not feel the "primal fear" that women experience. They conclude that the lack of vulnerability is the key difference between male and female experiences of unwanted touch.
