Full episode for non-us.Not too good quality though.

Part of the problem here is that what Family Guy is doing does mirror, at least in the US, a widely accepted piece of information.

Example: If I'm at a bar and I'm on the dance floor and a woman grabs my ass, I think nothing of it and go about my business.

If a woman is on the dance floor and a man grabs her ass, there is a good chance she may grab the nearest police officer.

Both can be considered sexual assaults, however only one is likely to be taken seriously. If a man approaches the nearest officer accusing a woman of grabbing his ass in a bar, what are the chances that the police officer will give him the time of day? What are the chances that the woman will be?

It's definitely a stereotype that holds true in the US, that men can't be sexually assaulted/harassed.

If you have sex with her, you give her all the power, if you don't have sex with her you're gay. You can't win!

yeah but the way the episode played out it was very obvious that despite what lois said, Peter was being sexually harassed. Lois may not have thought so, but anyone in the audience with doubts obviously has a screw loose.

Oh my god.

Get the fuck over yourselves. Seriously, family guy? You have moral outrage at family guy? It's a show that aims to offend EVERYONE.

So people really don't know where to go to watch decent quality TV and movies free online!?!?!?!?

Moral of the Story - Sexual harassing someone is okay so long as you are lonely and a woman

In Roadrunner cartoons Wile E. Coyote repeatedly tries to blow up, drop anvils on, or otherwise harm the Roadrunner. That does not make the show anti-roadrunnerite.

Lois sure became a total nutjob over the show's run, huh?

terribly spammy site though.

While I do believe women can sexually harass men, I do not think it is very common. The episode is trying to enforce a common feminist position.
