For example workplace harrasment by women towards males like touching or groping being ignored because the victim is male but if it where to happen to a woman by a male the male would be fired

Please tell me you actually read past the second paragraph.

Padme: You read past the second paragraph, right...?

Golly, it's almost like that article proves my point. Thank you.

Here let me do you one better.

Approximately 97.1% of female victims of rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner had only male perpetrators, whereas 2.1% had only female perpetrators (data not shown).

Source

Overall, about 2 in 3 women have reported being victims while around 1/3 of men have. So let me just drive this point home for your noggin: The vast majority of victims of rape, physical violence, or stalking are women, and the vast majority of perpetrators are men. End of story. That's all she wrote.

Meanwhile, bisexual women have the greatest rates of abuse than either lesbian or heterosexual women by a large margin.

By the way, just going to drop a hint: Just because you identify as lesbian now or are in a lesbian relationship now doesn't mean you were always lesbian and always had women partners... Duh. In fact, many women who come out of abuse tend to find comfort in other women. Turns out, these studies don't account for that little tidbit.
