Maybe it's because I'm not in the US, but I find this concern overblown.
For the most part, we're not talking about perfectly innocent things suddenly shifting into unacceptable. We're talking about behavior that was merely tolerated from people in positions of power. And 20 years ago most of these were probably already covered in sexual harassment advisories. As far as I'm concerned, the change took too long, not the other way.
Who do you see having been fired for stuff done 20 years ago and that was completely acceptable back then?
