I had to deal with this crap more than once. It's a real thing. The article doesn't mention a helpful strategy that kept false claims off my own record: having a diverse team with plenty of women who respect you and will have your back. Even some that don't like you but have character that they won't lie about you. They told the truth about me to anyone that asked. That included what they liked, shrugged over, or really hated (about 99% shit I'd say). The world of difference between what a few women claimed and what my coworkers said spending years with me in private got those claims discarded before they could touch my record. One I had to hold back so she didn't do something crazy since women hate false claims about this stuff about as much as men. Those claims create false perceptions that undermine attempts to deal with actual harassment and sex crimes. So, a certain percentage of women working with me go all out fighting any BS they see like that. So, that led to a generic solution building on what I was already doing. Just bring more women (and minorities) into your workplace, treat your workers well, spend time with them (in public if you're worried), build relationships, have their back where they need it, and they'll probably have yours, too. I actually don't have much charisma or management skill only working one job like that. I was the favorite boss of most of my people for years, though, just doing the above surviving all false claims of all types. It probably helps that I'm pretty genuine where they just knew what I would or wouldn't do. The people, men or women, who my bosses thought weren't motivated would sometimes work hardest for me. It's just because I treated them respectfully. Also, helping them would where I could. Such tiny things go so far to bring out the best in people. As a side effect, they also reduce the number and effectiveness of false claims. So, I recommend companies just do more of that. Treating people well, inclusive behavior, and so on. Every company I know like that out here gets good results of some kind.
