It is common for people who have been called out, or their supporters, to retaliate with assertions that the act of calling out sexist behaviour damages the career or reputation of the perpetrator. The aim of this is to imply that the perpetrator themselves is the real victim in the whole situation, not the people he or she hurt. Sometimes slander or libel laws are appealed to. In many jurisdictions, however, making a truthful statement is an absolute defence from slander or libel.

  • It is common for people who have been called out, or their supporters, to retaliate with assertions that the act of calling out sexist behaviour damages the career or reputation of the perpetrator. The aim of this is to imply that the perpetrator themselves is the real victim in the whole situation, not the people he or she hurt. Sometimes slander or libel laws are appealed to. In many jurisdictions, however, making a truthful statement is an absolute defence from slander or libel. In essence, this silencing tactic is a singular of the "You're harming the community" retaliation. See also Witch hunt for when defenders start using this tactic en masse.
