It's really not when you realize these aren't extraordinary claims. Those that wish to distract from the industry's systemic issues insist on evidence.
Yes, because it would be nice to know if it really was a systemic issue before wasting time and energy fixing it. "It's totally an issue, trust me" isn't worth acting on.
Nearly every woman in the industry has a story to tell, most say nothing. You'd know that if you'd bother to speak to any.

We don't know whether the claims are true one way or another. What we do know for certain is that the claim has affected many people's careers and the financial success of a large company.
If these claims are proven true, punish those responsible. If they're not true, punish those who harmed the lives and reputation of others.
