I know it is very difficult for victims of such aggravated harassment to name "the guy", but it has to be done. If this man had gone up and punched her in the face, he would have been lead out in cuffs and everyone would know who he is. Why is it any different with people that grope someone? Yes with things that are more on the fringe of what some people would consider harassment, perhaps the person should be informed that this makes someone uncomfortable and not put on blast, but something as blatant as groping someone should be treated no different than physical assault.
When more people come forward with this just as they would if they were assaulted, the "Weinsteins" will be not able to operate.
- jaggederest 9y agoIt's really not that simple. Part of the violence that abusers use to abuse is the fact that they are inherently protected by the way that reporting affects victims. We need to change the structures around reporting abuse before we can expect more victims to report abuse. It's really that simple - when you can't trust HR, your coworkers, the public at large or the police not to provide cover or justification for abuse, it's very difficult to report.
