In a continuation of this morning's topic, I notice that a male judge (in Russia) states as part of his decision to throw out a case filed by a female who claimed that she was sexually harassed in the workplace...

 “If we had no sexual harassment we would have no children.

He's being serious.

there was a BBC radio documentary i heard earlier this year, talking about the permissive culture in russia about domestic abuse- they said there was something like 3 violence shelters for women in all of Moscow, and not more than a few dozen for all of Russia itself. quotes like the above were sprinkled all though the story- quite horrifying, really.

Given that modern notions of sexual harassment tend to include very ordinary parts of human mating rituals and customs, he is not far wrong.
