Oh, in regard to males being heard, one thing I'll note is how the system forces you to agree the asshole did anything to you, in order to do anything? If anything the system compounds the assailants actions by reinforcing 'oh, he got you! Admit it - or we'll do fuck all!'.
Well, that's in regard to an in company investigation - but I'm guessing that the legal system does the same thing.
It's a pretty fucked up concept - it's like if someone called you a fuckwit, that you have to admit to now being a fuckwit before the authority will do something about the person who called you that.
I don't know about female culture and whether they don't share any parralel with this idea of 'well, he did the physical actions, but he was just trying to get at me and he never did' or if they just want to accept any physical assault as being succesful at affecting their mind/soul/will/part that matters.
But to me the systems fucked up when you have to say the fucker did get to what matters, for them to do shit all.
And even then, atleast with the in company stuff, they don't admit they can't find a conclusion (because of, say, a camera blind spot), they instead say the person did not do it! They don't even know that, yet they pull conclusions out of their ass (I bet so the status quo can just blunder on). Fuck, even call up about it and the women spoken to might complain that you were just making the call during lunch to make her skip lunch. Oh, poor darling!
So there's a tip - if you're thinking of just using an company internal investigation, ask what they print when they can't come to a conclusion. If they utterly disrespect your position and say not that they can't come to a conclusion but instead act as if the other person did nothing, just go to the cops. I know it'll seem like a big hassle - either take the big hassle, or take the fact they'll exonerate a pervert just to so they don't have to think.
Oh, and if you're reticent on talking about anyone, they will keep grilling you. Tell them to fuck off or you'll go to the cops.
Amen.
