No one is rallying behind her. We are rallying behind the structural dynamic. It does not matter whether it is she or someone else and it doesn't matter whether or not the target of the perceived harassment feels harassed.
To see the larger point using an extreme example:
Similar can be said for Emmitt Till. What the hell was that Black boy from Chicago doing whistling (he probably did it) at a white woman? Even a 14 yo from Chicago knows better than that. Dumbass. Does that mean that he deserved what he received, he shouldn't have been rallied behind, and we have to lose the larger point because of him, specifically?
