Also, any M --> M, F --> M or F --> F sexual harassment will be investigated carefully before any assumptions are made. Any claim of M --> F sexual harassment is automatically assumed to be true - guilty until proven innocent.

The problem is with M --> F sexual harassment historically is that it was not taken seriously. It was often just dismissed or brushed under the carpet. Things changed from essentially victim blaming or accusing the female of hysteria to believing the victim. In many cases this is a useful way of approaching the situation. The problem is that there are people who will make malicious and vexatious claims of harassment against others. Mounting a robust legal defence is expensive and beyond the means of many people.
