Maybe. But I upvoted it instead because it reminds us that this happens to people. More precisely: it happens to people who are rich, and people who are poor. It happens to big people as well as small people.

Being harassed, and giving in briefly to the harassment in the hope that it will stop, does not necessarily make you weak, and does not stop you from seeking justice afterwards.

I don't presume to say whether it's true, just that the story has resonance for those reasons. I hope it reminds someone else in a bad situation to, y'know, break out, blow the whistle. I hope it reminds men who see it happening and who hear these complaints to act on them, to try to speak up against people making openly sexist comments.
