However, wanting to "smash the patriarchy" might indicate that one subscribes to third wave radical feminism, whose definition of sexual harassment includes talking to a woman without her explicit permission.

As such, yes, I would give the accused the benefit of the doubt, at the very least until I'd heard the other side of the story.

Edit: Took me a while to find any of the actual, concrete accusations in that monster of a thread, it seems that Vic "said a number of throughout the years" which is pretty much exactly what I expected, and Rod, on at least one occasion, said something that does sound pretty damn horrible out of context. I apologize if I seemed dismissive, but I'd still like to hear the other side, such as it were.

At the end of the day, I'm mostly worried that getting the Internet at large involved in this will lead to another witch hunt in the style Donglegate.
