Are there any actual examples of innocuous flirting earning someone a scarlet letter? Otherwise, this kinda reads like some "men's rights" propaganda.

  N=1 but I knew a guy who had a Twitter hate campaign run against him because he asked this girl out on a date nearly a decade ago. She (recently) sent emails to his boss and his PhD advisor claiming that he sexually harassed her, and publicly called for others to do the same in hashtag-laden tweets. Instead people who knew him at the time came forward and defended him, saying her story made no sense. This girl was struggling with mental illness and was very vocal about it on social media so that may have been a factor. Thankfully there were no consequences for him, just a lot of awkward conversations. I think this is an extraordinary case and it's not likely you'll be "cancelled" for flirting. But when anyone in the world can publicly slander you, it's your word against theirs, and the only thing you can really do is report their tweets...
