Yeah, because a rape claim that opens you up to bullying, harassment, and slut shaming is just so much fun to do when nothing's actually happened. It's why there's such a high report rate!
Even on a lower level - ie reporting sexual harassment in my workplace - has had horrible repercussions: for me.
The internal inquiry found in my favour and he was close to retirement - dirty old letch - so he jumped before he was pushed.
Ahead of the resolution meetings I read some witness reports that broke my heart. Colleagues, people I'd respected, siding with him, saying he'd never done such a thing before (I know that not to be true) and basically assassinating my character. For a year after reading these reports I spent my time wanting to hide in a corner. Now some years later I am civil but distant with those colleagues. If they want to side with a sex pest they'll get nothing but the required basic level of workplace civility from me, and I won't interact with them if I can help it.
Society would far, FAR rather believe the woman is lying than that their eccentric, avuncular colleague is a sexual-harasser.
On the plus side, his behaviour made me really unwell and I at last recognised the symptoms of cPTSD - a hangover from child abuse and two teenage rapes - and had them successfully treated. In the end I suppose you could say he did me a favour.
But make no mistake about it, reporting this sort of behaviour from men does end in lengthy repercussions for women. It's a rot that goes to the root of our society and culture.
