I hear what your saying, and really...agree with your assertion that what happened to her, to many people, did not rise to the level of abuse she portends. However, different people feel differently about different things...My sphere of people, like you, have experienced far worse, personally, I have (from a male perspective) experienced far worse, and were silent, because or work, security clearances, so many unspoken, but very real dangers that occur in daily life and work experience, which relate to earning a living wage, and trust issues with other people. Its not PC, but its real.
In the end, I want timely, credible, and dangerous people to be called out and accountable. Again, this is life changing stuff to all people concerned. The old days of the male, husband, wage earners being forever (this is not an exaggeration) affected by untrue accusations that affect careers, family, friends, is now only exacerbate by the fact that it also includes women in the workplace today, as well as relations with family, friends, and workplace relationships too...I continue to search for fair common ground, and women become more angry by the people (men and women) that cloud the issue and make relationships with men harder and harder, as the fear factor for men/women becomes fractured because of this issue.
I also fear that this kind of thing is going to negatively affect women trying to get jobs, with employers not willing to go through the hassle of having to worry about sexual allegations with the two sexes working together. The women’s movement has gone full circle backward with all the credence given to any and all accusations no matter how ridiculous.
