I think a lot of what you are saying is based upon current societal creations. Men having egos allowing them to be targets, women being targets, children being targets, are no different than people being accosted with the violent crimes in our surroundings.
And unfortunately our education system, our justice system, and our “media” are on equal terms with the ignoring and pardoning of it.
A few years ago my wife was walking in front of me out of a ball park in San Francisco when a guy reached in front of me and pitched her behind. When the wife cried out, I placed the man in a sugar hold and chocked him out in about 10 seconds. I left him there on the ground as the crowd walked past him sometimes not seeing him and stepping on him. If I had called security, nothing would have been done as it wouldn’t have made any difference to them. They’d have gotten him walking again, and he’d have walked or spent a minimal jail sentence and got out to do it again.
But to say that the act of harassment of the attendants is a one way street isn’t exactly correct. Harassing people on the streets is no different. So the article was trying to sensationalize itself by using women as the bait. Are there problems? Yes. But the problems are not sexual, they are criminal. It needs to be treated as such in all instances. Not just with women and their gender.

My advice....do not EVAH take your wife to Italy.
Ah, but with men there is a difference. The difference is that men choose to be victims, or to be more accurate, they choose for other men to be victims when the culprit is female and they think they can get something out of it. A man who is facing violence from a woman doesn't just have to deal with that woman. He has to deal with a bunch of "heroes" who are looking to score.
As I pointed out, if women's issues are getting more attention, it's because women are investing more into the fight for their rights. A lot more. Say what you want about the feminists, when it comes to gender equality they are still ahead of anything anything men have managed to organize.
BTW, good job.:)
