I am not at all sure public shaming is the right strategy in dealing with these cases. Then again, I'm not sure what the right strategy is.
I'd be happy if this could all be fixed at an early age via an enlightened education system but that's obviously not happening. Oh well.
In any case, perhaps this is a bit extreme. I "fondly" (sarcasm quotes) remember the Adria Richards farce where public shaming only lead to a huge clusterfuck for everyone involved and a wave of misogynist hate.
