I'm not in any way suggesting that people shouldn't take harassment issues seriously. Rather, what constitutes harassment or injustice is determined by the specific facts at hand and not just by the gender, race, religion, whatever of the person making the claim. The dynamic has nothing to do with feminism per se. There are plenty of guys who do this too.

Hell, we have our own cycling equivalent. There is a reason that some posters seem to be perpetually harassed by motorists while others who ride further in the same conditions do not experience these problems.
That's just not acceptable, if I understand DrPete correctly. It doesn't matter if a woman starts the aggression, a man should know not to react to it.
