(5,210 posts)Most women have been sexually harassed in the workplace or other related places and plenty of women have suffered worse.
That adds up to a LOT of men who just can't keep their lewd thoughts unspoken, their hands to themselves, or their equipment safely tucked away in their pants, as in the cases of Louis CK, Harvey Weinstein, etc. A LOT of men who have gotten away with it for a very long time for a variety of reasons, most of which have to do with a power differential + rape culture + misogynist patriarchal society.
It's a terrible burden to carry and if women are being given the chance to unburden themselves, a lot more of this may surface.
AND REMEMBER: the incidence of false reports are roughly the same as for false reports of other crimes: NEGLIGIBLE.
