The “Shitty Media Men” Google Document, which allowed women to anonymously out harassers to each other, had many flaws that undermined its good intentions, holds Erin Ryan of The Daily Beast.

To avoid retribution from powerful men, the help of journalists could have been used. This list was not the way to do it.
