Concretely and practically, if the EA environment is unusually predatory, I should warn women I know against applying to jobs in EA or attending EA groups/events, or at least inform them that they would be at risk.
If the EA community is safer then the counterfactual (for which country-level base rates are a reasonable default) then I shouldn’t (if only because doing so would put them at more risk.)
So this would be a decision-relevant thing to know about, but as you mention I’m not sure it’s tractable to get this information.
I was about to write a very similar comment.
