I think sometimes a lot of these topics take place within artificial narratives, and that doesn't really address how harassment (or worse) of any kind occurs.<p>Not far from me a local football team that had a guest speaker, she was a fairly popular speaker traveling all over telling her story about how she was assaulted and her experiences with that and the aftermath. Her ending narrative was that the "good guys" on the team should be telling the "bad guys" to stop doing bad things. She used the terms good guys and bad guys.<p>While I think her speech was worthwhile, especially about her personal experience. I later wondered (and got an earful for daring to ask) if "good guys" telling "bad guys" to not sexually assault women was shown to actually prevent this kind of thing... or if that even is the dynamic on a sports team. I didn't get an answer.<p>Same thing goes for these gender-equity hot spots. It doesn't make sense to me to think that someone with the desire to harass someone is likely to do it any less in such a hot spot. And the challenges / unknowns a victim faces coming forward are no less challenging even if it is an equitable place otherwise.<p>I think these situations are mostly very personal decisions, by those who victimize and the victims and the narratives we build around society as a whole or in part obscure how granular things play out.
