> Imagine that 20% of founders were getting straight up scammed by fake angels and VCs--would you suggest the founders need some way to report that anonymously? I'd suggest that they should report it publicly, dammit, and name and shame the perpetrator, with their own name attached and the allegation backed by the weight of any reputation they may have. All of which they would probably do. The near-total impotence of men - and by implication, male-dominated industries - to do anything at all about sexual harassment of women comes from the fact that this is for some reason seen as an unthinkable response when it comes to sexual misconduct directed at women. These survey results point to 4 women being sexually assaulted and 15 founders either being asked to prostitute themselves for investment or something worse. Yet we have not a single name of a responsible party, nor a single account of their actions. We men are repeatedly told that it is our job to prevent harassment of women, and that we have the power to do so. How? What possible power can we have to do anything about perpetrators if their victims universally refuse to tell us who they are or what they have done? The blame for society's failure to protect future victims lies on the victims who stay silent, not on men; it is impossible for us to respond to incidents that everyone involved refuses to tell us about.
