Probably because your not exposed to it. I've had a stalker, a peeping Tom, and had a fair share of men (online dating) behave lewdly (talking about sex before even meeting them, etc.).
If you were in my circle of work and friends you would have no knowledge of that.

Some women get that type of harassment more than others, OP. Curvier women tend to be targets for it, average women--hardly at all, if ever, below-average women are invisible to men in general.
THIS.
As the owner of a Rack of Doomâ„¢, I can attest to this. I developed a huge rack at a very early age - I was wearing a D-cup when most of the other girls hadn't even bought their first bra yet.
And a running theme ever since is that apparently the fact I have this chest is somehow proof that I want to be harassed, that I want "it", that I am a tease who deserves sexual harassment or being groped in the club. And the dozens of rumors I and the other early-to-develop girls were the target of during junior high... just for the crime of having breasts. Rumors flew that we were pregnant... that we'd had abortions. That we would give oral sex if you corned us in the stairwell closest to the home economics and wood shop classrooms. That we'd let you get to 2nd base at the movies.
I can remember coming home from school in tears, asking my mom if I could have a breast reduction for Christmas. I was 15. And 16. And 17. By 18, I stopped asking.
Even to this day, casual acquaintances and complete strangers think it's okay to touch my chest. I've mentioned wanting to have a reduction before to friends and acquaintances, and there's always at least one person who objects that "But that would be a shame! You have such nice boobs!". I'm 37, and sometimes I have problems remembering that my body belongs to me. I've been conditioned since I was 11 that my body doesn't belong to me, that on some level and to some degree, it belongs to anyone in the world who sees me.

This is beyond my comprehension. Casual acquaintances? Like it's a perfectly normal thing to do? What's their m.o. or excuse? I can't imagine that. Strangers, as in grabbing? Or pretending to brush past you by accident? wtf???

Doesn't matter if it's online or on the over world. Many women on CD have posted experiences where men were lewd and improper. These can be married men too.
Where are these men? I personally haven't heard men talk about women in an objectified way since high school.
I remember in college getting a notice about a man that would ejaculate on women who where laying under trees by the lagoon. It was a common thing between classes to take a nap or read by the lagoon and this guy was enjoying himself a bit much. I have no clue if he was caught but you see a lot of strange things on a college campus.

Straight women & gay men are sctually some of the worst offenders, especially after a drink. They'll excuse it with a "oh it's ok, I'm gay, I don't like girls" or "I don't do girls but couldn't help myself". Then there's the "accidental touch" that isn't accidental. Or the "oh let me pick this lint/hair off your chest".
