I'm in no way saying it is her fault, and I understand all the things that may work against her if she came forward, but the alternative sounds pretty tough to live with.

Countless women in all walks of life, in all industries have come forward in the past and guess what?
Nothing changed.
They move onto another job if they are lucky enough to not be blacklisted and the same stuff happens.
Nothing changed.
That is the entire reason that here we are in 2017, 100 years after women were given the right to vote, where it should be a given that women are equal, that it should be a given you don't stuff your hands down someones pants unless given complete consent, that you don't send sex toys to co-workers, etc etc that we have the #Metoo movement. And that it is completely necessary the movement happens and happens to it's fullest.
You don't understand it because you haven't lived it. Neither have I. But as I've mentioned before I can much more easily count the number of women on my social media lists that didn't say #Metoo than the ones who did. That includes my wife and numerous close friends.
The thing is, I know in my heart that in the end we will look back at this in 15-20 years and we will say this:
Nothing changed.
It's sad. It's pessimistic.
But damnit we have to try.
