I remember years ago, at the height of his M*A*S*H fame, Alan Alda got a lot of flack for his feminist views, as did talk show host Phil Donahue. They were called wimps and much worse. Comedians made them the butt of their jokes. Women also criticized them and it went on for years. So, yes, I think men can be at risk in this way.

I think words have a potential for meaning, like with quantum physics. Their meaning is not quite set. Are there really writers out there who aren't harassed? I don't quite know what to make of that 11% statistic. What constitutes harassment? I thought being attacked was just part of it. It blows my mind to think there are writers out there who expect not to be attacked.
