Isn't that evidence that society doesn't tolerate these things? Once it was out in the open, society rushed to condemn it. Everywhere. Everyone.

It could only happen when society did not know about it. When it was kept secret.

Society absolutely does not tolerate attacks on women, as the #MeToo movement showed.
