I've seen several on my facebook feed with brief (or not so brief) descriptions
None of them were like the third example you gave. They all were related to physical sexual assault/abuse. Just whats happening on my feed though.

I have empathy. But what can we do as a society if nothing is done about it?

For something like this awareness is a HUGE first step. This whole thread is a little embarrassing for you.

Is sexual harassment and/or sexual assault a new phenomenon?

I think the idea behind the #metoo movement is to increase awareness of the problem.

Good point

They all DO have stalkers.

I agree with you that a so-called "stalker" is in many cases NOT sexual harassment.
