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).

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.
