Men have gotten away with this sort of behavior since time immemorial and that's not right. The pendulum has swung, perhaps a bit too far, but in these cases (or Gomeshi's) where "everybody knows" that something is up, it's right for the likely perpetrator to be removed while they clear their name (or not).

No...I mean innocent. I mean guys that get labelled as something that did nothing.
Sorry but just because someone says something happened and it cant be proven in a court of law, that does not make them guilty anyhow....THATS the trouble.
I understand that men have taken advantage of situations forever, and those that have should be drawn and quartered. We used to have a system for determining this. That system has now been replaced by 144 character statements from anonymous to well known people, and voila...a persons life is altered, or even ruined. No real investigative process involved...just allegations.
Social media, for all its awesomeness and usefulness at times, has become a bane on everything I believe this country stands for. Even worse IMO, there seems to be zero desire to alter this course. Frightening stuff.
