Of course. It works at every level, all the way down to family. Other advice here suggests joining groups to meet people, but anytime you two are under the same reporting umbrella, you're vulnerable to malicious claims when they want to be rid of you.

It's a sad state of affairs; I don't have a solution. Private citizens have no business running tribal justice systems. They used to call this form of abuse triangulation (but that term has a wildly different meaning with this crowd).

Near as I can tell, the way this usually works out is each gender ends up 'policing' itself to prevent the worst abuses.

In most environments, the older women police the younger women, older men police the younger men, etc.

Good luck doing that online though, or even in the current dynamic.
