a purpose. If sexual harassment can be joked about when it happens to a male, when it happens to a female she just needs to loosen up, it's funny. It's a joke! She took it too personal. Yadda, yadda, yadda. No matter what sex it happens to the result is it turns the true victim into a punchline and the perpetrator into a victim.

When a report comes out about a female teacher raping a student, three will always be this reply on my local news feed... "Where was this teacher when I was in 7th gradel"
I guess raping is a good thing to be laughed and joked about.
