Regarding punishment, we've learned from the downfall of Harvey Weinstein and other famous men not only that times have changed, but also that ostracism is an efficient tool.

Now a Shitty Media Men list can dominate the news for days as HR departments across the coasts hastily assess their employees and their liability.
