+1, i've been crotch-grabbed at a few nightclubs (one time at the bar ordering drinks -- i guess she thought i couldnt do anything about it if my hands were full).
You could "accidentally" stumble, spilling the drinks all over her. "Oops! Gee, I get clumsy when strangers grab my crotch. It really makes me nervous." Some guys get loud to embarrass their harasser.
I don't think it's less. I think it's reported less because it's our culture that men are supposed to be more powerful than women and you're less of a man if a woman is more powerful than you.
And this is why there are fewer. And yes, this thread is ridiculous for suggesting there aren't fewer because they just don't get reported. Baloney!
Women who sexually assault males stand a very good chance of a painful, violent response unless the man wants her already or the victim is much younger and they have power over them, as in the case of teachers. Few women have the strength to defend themselves even against an adolescent boy. So even if there are an equal number of women who want to commit sex crimes (which I doubt) they know they run a high risk of injury if they actually use physical force.
It's not that there are less, it's that by virtue of being female, a male target will far more often indulge a female's eccentricities than the other way around.
You’re serious? You think there are just as many female predators, but they almost all get a pass... because men accept “eccentricities”. Women though, they aren’t as accepting of these eccentricities, they always talk about it and report it.
There’s nothing remotely logical in this line of thinking, just feelings of persecution and paranoia.

Imagine substituting the word "eccentricities" in a rape trial.
Something I've wondered. The only time female predators are acknowledged is in the media when it comes to adult female teachers and teenage boys. However, in nearly all of these cases, the social perception (at least from a large amount of men) is that these women 'gifted' these boys and they must have enjoyed it.
Perhaps that's the heart of the reason why so few women predators/deviants are caught. The social perception of women being 'delicate' makes it difficult for society to acknowledge female predators as well as even victims to acknowledge they are abused
There's a biological element as well and it's been proven testosterone drives aggression and sexual behavior which would put the male gender more as outliers than females in sexual deviancy
What do you think is the reason? Why do you rarely see women grope other men or women?
Check out the series "Deadly Women" on the ID channel. Thanks but I'll make my own milkshake.
However, once you get into the realm of sexual harrassment or misconduct in the workplace, then the distinctions get a great deal more blurry. I'm a happily married man (28 years) who is in a line of work where I deal with women a lot. During my heyday, I had to gracefully turn down any number of flirtations, invitations, overtures, and outright advances. As in women making physical passes at me, women saying they were looking for an affair, you name it. I mean when a client who is responsible for 50% of your billings gently takes your hand in a meeting and begins to stroke it in a sensual way, it requires some top-shelf finesse to get out of that situation without any consequences.
Any number of encounters I've had would be instantly stamped as sexual harassment if a man did that to a woman, despite the often enormous stakes involved to my career. Yet society does not look at that kind of misconduct performed by a woman in the same light.

As you say, that's an entirely different topic and has little in common with sexual violence.
