It's because of the Lawmaking Patriarchy.
"This is what happens when appearances are put ahead of substance. Sexual harassment shouldn’t be reduced to the appearance of impropriety. Sexual harassment is an active choice that the harasser makes, and the way to fight it is to hold men who harass accountable, not to act like life on the Hill is taking place within a Victorian novel. Instead, because some powerful men mistreat women, the solution is to deprive women of opportunities for career advancement."

The cognitive dissonance is overflowing here. Feminism is all about putting appearances ahead of substance. Feminists are the ones who have reduced sexual harassment to an appearance of impropriety. They are the ones who think we live in Victorian times such that a mere attempt to talk to a random woman in the street should be a crime. And then they turn around and get mad when men, assessing the facts the cold light of day, react in a logical manner to avoid the newly manufactured risks.
In the Lyle V. WB case (a chick who worked on the staff @ Friends, got fired after 4 months, she said there was sexual harassment because the workers/writers talked about sex a lot)
Court ruled unanimously for Warner Bros.
" We simply recognize that, like Title VII, the FEHA is “not a ‘civility code’ and [is] not designed to rid the workplace of vulgarity.”
