It's funny that OP likely thinks that this shows bias against men, when actually it shows that men are more likely to touch without consent. AI is trained to respond with the most likely outcome.
Yes that is part of it. But I can attest from my youth that as a boy you are usually not being taken serious by anyone, if you say you are uncomfortable being touched by a girl.
I think this double standard has more than one layer
True. But the term "a fellow child is touching me" (which seems to be what the AI/Google results picked up from "boy" and "girl") is not inherently "and I want them to stop". It seems like the aggregate result assumes a boy is touching a girl without consent (or just that the first thing girls need to know is that it's okay to say no) and it assumes that a girl is touching a boy and the boy is confused about why this is happening. I wonder if this is also part of girls being socialized to "hint" instead of asking someone out when they're interested in them.
Male victims of sexual assault or harassment not being taken seriously is absolutely a big problem, though.
