In all seriousness, I have that same concern, but in the opposite direction. Until we have firm consequences instead of easily-ignored words and unlimited second chances, these lines will always seem nice-but-optional to privileged people. Bullies have no qualms crossing them.

Yup. The whole problem here is that people have been too nice - for thirty years. More nice isn’t going to move the needle. Right now what everyone in this situation needs is to feel the REAL, AUTHENTIC anger that women have been suppressing around this asshole for DECADES.

So what specific actions do you propose and recommend? What reaction is to be taken if the action is not taken? Timeline? How do you channel the anger felt to enable change? If the change does not occur, what is to be done? Anger is powerful, but a plan more so.

Ok, a clearly defined action and immediate timeline is defined. Why the request? What specific actions or behaviors have caused this request to be made? If the request is not agreed and acted upon, what actions will be taken in response? The latter creates the focus for change.
