For some of these acts of ostracization, silencing, and harm, would it be possible to name which organizations/individuals did these[1]? I’d like to lessen/avoid contact with them.
I understand that concerns about libel probably exist for some, and concerns about the victim’s privacy probably exist for some of the scenarios. No need to respond if you prefer to not share any additional information.
I’ve been thinking about this, too. What are recommended practices for naming bad actors? I’m tempted to name some right here in the comments, but I’m concerned that few others might notice or care since it’s in a sub-comment, making the risk alerting them into action not worth it.
Some might identify themselves by attacking this post, downvoting, or jumping into action against women who might report them. We might spot them in the shadows by paying attention.
The primary requirement would be getting the permission of the victims, as naming the perpetrators could expose the victims to retaliation by the bad actors.
Can you name some of the red flags to watch for? I’d also be interested in hearing who some of the bad actors are (perhaps in a DM if you don’t want them to know they’ve been spotted).

Something like:
• [ORG_A] revoked a job offer from someone after she was raped.
• [NAME_1] was the administrator of a group chat that removed a member after she spoke up about sexually assaulted.
• [NAME_2] shared a home address with encouragement for harassment.
• I was uninvited from [CONFERENCE_X].

Are there other considerations, too?
It is pretty notable how frequently bad actors / bystanders out themselves on this forum if you watch for red flags.
