Avoidance isnt necessarily what I am saying. But being proactive in your everyday life is important.

There are some scary, crazy people out there. Getting caught alone when your defenseless is not the smartest thing to do.

But if you do get caught in this situation, I am very much in favor of helping the victim. But there needs to be a private investigation to make sure the falsely accused are not ruined. And the false accusers are not glorified.

I was talking more in keeping with the spirit of the thread. For example, you have to meet a sketchy character like Harvey Weinstein for employment.
