The problem is that all of society including the parents, long objectified women and raised them to tolerate "boys being boys" and to not make waves. 

Over time, overt sexual harassment, like racism, was publicly shamed, but also like racists, sexual harassers still existed, they just became more cunning and relied on the public perception that it was less prevalent to make their case that the harassment (and racism) no longer existed therefore any victim that came forward was actually lying, or asking for it, or seeking power, or playing the gender (race) card for a payday. 

The difference now is that women have reached a tipping point. Seeing the molester in chief gain office was probably a catalyst, but all in all women have had enough of it, the harassment, the victim shaming, and the overall patriarchy that has long been the alley of the harasser. We should all welcome this so maybe parents can finally teach right vs wrong in regards to sexual harassment.
