Before we actually started listening to women, before monsters were being held accountable for their actions, we had the whisper network, informal private washroom conversations between women at events warning each other to stay away from certain persons, see The Missing Stair for details (The Pervocracy: The missing stair.)
Several years ago one woman put together a spreadsheet of this whisper network and sent it to her friends in media, she called it the Shitty Men in Media list. Her friends filled in blanks, and sent it to their friends who filled in more blanks, and so on and so on. It went viral. The list got reported on. It went offline. And all the women who participated went into hiding. Because five years ago outing abusers got women fired, doxxed, driven from their home, threatened, and so on.
Harpers is about to publish an article by Katie Rophie outing the progenitor of the list.
This is an article by the original author of the list, because fuck Katie Rophie and fuck Harpers.
