That's not how it's understood. I understood it perfectly well to be him telling an anecdote about how people can lash out.
In a thread about sexual harassment in the workplace...
Allegations usually never lead to anything and most of the time the person reporting it ends up with no job.Which is precisely what can happen and it's why allegations of any sort need to be taken very, very seriously on a company-wide level. At the end of the day it's always going to be a he-said-she-said scenario unless there's direct proof. It's very easy to say, "Yeah, people lash out," but it's also easy to say, "Sexual harassment absolutely happens and can be dangerous to report."
It's basically like saying we should always take extra care when talking about sexual assault because there's so many false accusations thrown out there.
