It's sad to me that the most upvoted comment in response to a sexual harassment is about false harassment claims.

Imagine the roles were reversed and it were a woman being harassed. What would the response to this comment be?

A thousand white knights riding to her rescue, trampling due process?
The woman in the article made allegedly false "microaggression" claims against the man.
Probably even more upvoted?

That's the pattern I normally see online, people tend to be sympathetic to victims.
