I feel like these sort of articles are somewhat doomed on social media sites, HN included. The general agreement is that these sorts of things should be deplored. There's not much to disagree on. This lack of back and fourth is going to make it hard to keep engagement on the issues of sexual harassment at the front of people's minds. They are, sadly, uninteresting, even though we know they represent bad behaviour.
There are two other related discussions to be had: 1) Corporate Culture and 2) Government inaction. Sadly, both of these are reactionary, and require enough mindspace of the population to do anything about. Unfortunately there has been more competition for mindspace, in the past decade.
Now that I think about it, it explains why Feminism is essentially run by those with greater personality extremes. That drama may be all that is keeping it alive. As frustrating as it is, maybe I shouldn't be so quick to ridicule the more outlandish assertions.
Because maybe that needs to be there so we can keep seeing these more insidious occurrences.
