Look at history and how other powerful / influential men (abusers) have been brought down by one woman speaking up then others feeling empowered to do the same.
Don't shame these women for not having the courage to speak up when the event happened, applaud them for having the courage to speak up now.

I agree totally. Sorry if my point was lost there.
But the way in which Stoya did this/is doing this is not the best strategy in my opinion. Too much room to call her tactics and motives into question. But I absolutely believe women should feel safe to speak out when assaulted and if this is the end result then something great has come of this.
If I were a Miss Universe pageant contestant my answer, when asked what my dream was, would be: "The total and complete eradication of rape, assault and sexual slavery on Earth." I wouldn't win, of course. LOL
