A small minority of men cause the vast majority of the problem. Unfortunately it doesn't take many to create a real problem.

I recall a study which found that among the IT community only 3% of males make unvanted advances to women. But because the share of men to women is so lop sided, the women experience a near constant stream of unwanted advances.

I think there might have been an HN discussion abou this... And a few men in traditionaly female dominated professions, like nursing, might have shared similar experiences.

Or I am mis-remembering it all.

You're missing some important numbers. How many made wanted advances?
