Ah. Yr narrow interpretation of the initial claim might have led you s'where not worth arguing for. Not unusual for thought experiments .

Not necessarily. I'm not sure I don't have a moral duty to intervene. But whether it exists simply because I'm male is... well difficult.

Again, I think your framing is problematic - but within that you are clearly very consistent! I'll stop now .

Framing - Thing is, it's a no-brainer that within institutional settings it's up to people with power - i.e., men - to shut this stuff down.

But it's not something I find interesting enough to comment upon, nor do I think it helps if I add my voice to those saying it.

Justification is straightforwardly utilitarian. HW et al aren't going to stop unless those with power to stop them do something about it.

That will normally be men, and only very rarely will it be those who are victims of harassment.

It's also obvious if men are complicit in development of a "laddish" culture, they contribute to an environment where harassment will occur.
