Published: January 17, 2010

In the past 16 years, the percentage of sexual harassment charges filed by men with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) increased from 8 percent to 16 percent.

According to Newsweek, although there are instances when women sexually harass men, most of the increase is due to male-on-male incidents.

The harassment is normally not an attempt to flirt or sexually stimulate the targets.
