The scary part of this video is that _every woman you know_ lives in that world, and this is _not new_. it isn't even an Internet phenomenon, although there are ways the Internet makes it worse.
"Men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them." (to paraphrase a lecture by Margaret Atwood from 1982)
If you want to understand what happens to women who report things and how the Internet has made it worse, watch Monica Lewinsky's Ted Talk. Bill Clinton is an elder statesman who is an asset to his wife in her bid for the Presidency. Monical Lewinsky is a punchline. Do you know what she did to deserve that? She fell in love with her boss.
