Aren't you aware of the "sexual harassment" craze of the late 80s/90s? Michael Crichton even wrote a book about it. It wasn't that different to the "me too" craze, although the lack of social media meant "normal" women couldn't use it to get attention as easily.
Samus Aran (1986), Lara Croft (1996), and Joanna Dark (2000) say otherwise.

Dollars to donuts you'd whine just as much if I had only included examples from the last decade.
