"Hollywood Has Failed Male Victims of Sexual Harassment: Both in real life and on screen, the issue has been handled poorly."

This is a surprising article from Vice. But I suppose it's natural that not all it's authors are misandrists. The only disagreement I have is

We’re provoked to condemn the molestation of male children by their preachers, parents, or another adult, as evidenced in works of art such as Ray Donovan, Doubt, Spotlight, Red Hook Summer, and Antwone Fisher. But when it comes to adult male victims...

Even when it's a boy child being molested, it's only condemned if the adult is a man. If it's a boy and an older woman, there are still a myriad of films which depict it either as comedy, sexual fantasy, or romance

Good piece though Hollywood hasn't been universally bad in this respect.

The 2016 Ghostbusters had a female character harassing a male one for laughs, but every time it happened also another character in all seriousness saying, "Stop that. That's harassment."
