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

Clothes in general, I could borrow my husband's shirt and nobody would bat an eye but I'd he borrowed mine (he can't because I'm smaller, but assuming we were the same size-ish) would look strange.

I don't think groping is gonna be ignored in any workplace, in any direction.

I've read enough accounts from both men and women to know that sexual harassment is not taken seriously at many places.

In some workplaces it's even ignored in both directions. At last, true gender equality! /s

Many (basically all) companies will completely ignore an issue until they're absolutely forced to act on it, it's pretty par for the course.

Huh? Groping is ignored much of the time if done by a woman to a man

[–] VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Groping is very much ignored in both directions at work
