Some people can’t behave in situations like this, no matter the gender. Plenty of reports from male cosplayers and character actors getting groped by women. Recent example: https://www.threads.com/@xo.treleigh/post/DNeF1iZuLDe (content is in the screenshots). Same shit behavior and attitude.
My experience with inappropriate touching because of the costume I’m wearing has pretty much entirely been women. My costume wasn’t sexual or revealing at all either - people just decided to it looked pleasing to touch and did so without asking. Including one person repeatedly passing behind me to touch my costume at my butt (and I don’t think she was trying to sexually harass me: she was just really short)
Not saying its representative of the the wider behavior or even equivalent to similar behavior when done by men. Ultimately, I mostly just found it an interesting experience, but never felt threatened by any of the inappropriate behaviors, which makes a huge difference ime.
This is amazing that men have to be literally separated from women, because they are too animalistic to not harras them. Amazing world.
