The harassment is not due to being a male/youth dominated industry, but a large one and by definition incredibly well connected. It's easy for a very small percentage of idiots to make a very large noise.

We need to be finding these people and getting them out of our industry on a permanent basis. They can go work on a landfill as far as I'm concerned.

Exactly this. These people push out men with their behavior as well. I truly doubt any one of these people are worth the 2 or 3 that get fed up with it and leave.

Sadly every time that's tried the freeze peaches crowd descends and claims not being able to send death threats and say that jews should die is persecution, and anyway she was probably a slut asking for it.

To be fair, every time that's tried the social justice crowd takes it too far and tries to kick people out for holding the wrong opinions, even if they never actually harassed anyone.

Good intentions do not protect from being corrupted by power, who knew?
