sexual harassment性骚扰
根据美国EEOC (均等就业机会委员会)的统计，2006年度，男性投诉遭性骚扰的比例占这类总投诉案件的15.4%，其中骚扰者通常都是男性。
请看外电相关报道：Newly released data from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) showed that 15.4 percent of the 12,025 charges of sexual harassment in fiscal year 2006 were filed by men.
报道中的sexual harassment就是“性骚扰”。注意，根据“韦氏字典”，sexual harassment指的是uninvited and unwelcome verbal or physical conduct directed at a person because of his or her sex（对男性或女性实施不受欢迎的性行为，包括身体接触或言语挑逗）。由此，如新闻所示，“性骚扰”的受害者不仅仅是女性，同时也包括男性。
在用法上，如果想强调某一案例是“男性对男性实施性骚扰”，可表达为male-on-male sexual harassment。反之，“性骚扰”可依据具体情况表达为(female-on-female/male-on-female/female-on-male) sexual harassment或者sexual harassment against male/female。
此外，“性骚扰”若做动词，常用被动语态to be sexually harassed。
