Years ago before I knew it was screwed up I shrugged it off because I thought I'd be called a 'pussy' for complaining.
Yeah, it was a over a decade ago in my teens in a club, basically if you weren't hyper masculine about it you'd get called gay or a pussy.

To be fair, the power dynamics between a man sexually harassing a woman are obviously significantly different than a woman doing it to a man, but yeah this is very wrong, and I don't know how people can see it otherwise. Part of the problem of course is that this is something guys do to each other as well, as a prank or hazing type shit, so a lot of people are going to be desensitized to it.
The power dynamics are not different, especially not in this scenario where Perry is significantly more wealthy, famous, and powerful than this dude. Women can and do rape and sexually harass men, and it is so much more common than most people think. I was considering making a thread about this issue prior to posting this one, but after seeing some of the responses here I'm definitely doing it. Otherwise people are just perpetuating dangerous rape myths.
Yup, men do it to men as well. Speaking from personal experience.
Men doing it to men is obviously just as wrong. The genders of the people involved are irrelevant.
what word would she call men in this scenario that the first reply would mention? trying to imagine, help me out a bit please.
To make it very short, you never see people saying "what this male did sucks". You only see it used with women, and it's generally a misogynistic term. Using it as an adjective is ok. Like, "there exist male and female characteristics". What's not so cool is saying "what this female did sucks". It's dehumanizing and generally used by assholes.
Unless she pulls a ke$ha, nah. She's too tight with music producers to have her career destroyed.
I don't think they were saying it alright.....it's more like sadly no one cares.
It's not exclusive to fame, agreed, but fame and wealth can bring out the worst in people. So maybe she was not confident enough or popular enough in school to do this, but now she thinks she is all that because she is famous.
Of course, the court of public opinion will not be on his side until more than one person steps forward. Even then "fans" won't be swayed. I mean shit look at Chris Brown, beats the crap out of Rhianna and people still worship the ground he walks on. It's kind of disgusting.
Because fame and money mean power, and when people have power over others, sometimes they abuse it.
