Same goes for men.
I know that in certain "cultural" circles a guy who harasses women is "just a lad" and the whole set of nasty behaviours and mysoginy is well established within various societies (not only western), but the whole girl power thing and the ladette culture can also sometimes be seen as an excuse to show exactly the same unwanted attention towards men. What I mean is, it's not acceptable regardless of sex nor orientation.
I watched an episode of "Come Dine with Me" the other day, where some lady kept touching a fella, repeatedly tried to kiss him and constantly showered him with sexual innuendos. The guy felt uncomfortable, others felt awkward too. The lady in question was completely oblivious to fact that she could (and did) caused a great offence, despite being told to stop on few occasions. Now, if the shoe was on the other foot...
I don't try to shift the blame here.
