it's saying that men groping women tends to induce fear in women, in a specifically sexual way and for very good reasons. while men do face sexual abuse, it is usually in the hands of other men and women constitute the large majority of people who are sexually abused.

this article merely add another layer of how this policy hurts society, in this case a specific population within society
