You've seen the studies about how much women talk in meetings? People report that women talk more than men in meetings even when they don't. And they usually don't.

I suspect that's what we're seeing now with what you're calling "the year of the woman". Men in power have been - often enough to go ahead and generalize - sexist pigs for as long as any of us have been alive, and we rarely hear about their offenses. Frequently even when we hear about them the system circles around to protect the offenders.

Now we're starting to see cases where the system is failing in favor of women. This is so counter to our expectations that it seems like a serious problem.

Everyone falsely accused and punished is a problem, but so is every true accusation buried or ignored. I'm not saying we should balance the scales by adding more false accusations, just saying the problem women are facing is still in greater need of fixing.
