For example workplace harrasment by women towards males like touching or groping being ignored because the victim is male but if it where to happen to a woman by a male the male would be fired

And you don't perhaps think your attitude is guided by your feelings? Why should others around you have to be the toilet where you deal with your feelings by having such a negative attitude? Or perhaps none of us are sufficient to do this on our own, and sometimes we rely on those close to us to get us through the parts we find difficult.

The fact you liken emotions to a waste product, and not an equally vital part of the entire process, says it all.

Nope. Fair is fair no matter how you feel about it.

OP asked a question.

All men are required to be sufficient to do this on our own. If he isn't he is discarded. We should also discard women for the same reasons. Fuck that double standard.

Taking a shit is a pretty important part of life as a mammal, but you're expected to shut the fucking door while you're on the can.

Yeah, this reads like, "I suck at this skill, so this skill must be useless and the people who do use it are wrong."

More like "if I attempt to engage in this activity, I will be punished for it, so I have no intention of tolerating it from others."

I don't get to cry on anyone's shoulder. So no one gets to cry on mine. End of discussion.
