When have you ever heard someone say they'd be fine with their son being a harasser?

No one is going to explicitly say that, but in some communities the reaction to a son being gay is a lot harsher than to a son sexually harassing someone else.

I mean, absolutely, especially globally, there are still a lot of communities like that.
In the developed west, personally at least, I think the people who would have that attitude tend to be a bit too old (or way too old) to be having kids.
While I can't speak to OP's experience, that's the kind of sentiment that publicly expressed would make employment more difficult etc.

I hear my parents saying “No, let him be” when he gets touchy-feely with their daughter, who got harassed on school by a boy before.

Not sure generalizing based on your parents is legit.
Admittedly, “Y’all ever stopped to notice on how my parents fear…” doesn’t sound quite the same.

It’s about a real problem absolutely, and a problem that is worthy of discussion but just this thought process rings so false (at least, among the priviliged western users whom I think make up a large percentage of us.)
