It's an objection to one facet of the new phenomenon which has empowered women to come out with stories of abuse. As I said, I think it's important that abuse gets reported, and the environments have been super toxic towards those who experience abuse in the past, so that needed to change. I also object to the mob ruining peoples' lives based on unsubstantiated accusations. We might disagree about the extent to which that's happening, but surely not whether that specific element is healthy, right?
Bleh, I just feel gross after all this. I feel like I'd probably get along with a lot of you guys irl, but man, either this format, or--maybe--the group dynamic involved in this discussion does not feel productive.
