David in Nairobi on FB: Unveiling their names to the public doesn't quite help them either, cases are better tackled by the designated institutions in the same way that identifiable medical data is handled. Only justice, not disclosure, pacifies the pain of victims.

Sarah on FB: I agree that there is a prevailing attitude of minimizing sexual crimes, but revealing the person who is the victim against their will is not going to help the situation. You will find less women reporting the crime if that is a law!

My jaw is dropping at Naomi Wolf's victim-blaming statements on @主播大秀_WHYS. So disappointed.

Anne via email: Wolf has correctly argued that it is only when victims have waived their anonymity that institutions will change. What she fails to see is that such waiving of anonymity must be voluntary: a personal choice made by individuals seeking to further victim civil rights.

Question from Lynne in California via email: Why should individual women take the responsibility for changing the system and culture? Why isn't Naomi Wolf supporting changes in the culture at large, changing the shame factor on a large scale rather than on a one by one scapegoat basis?

@主播大秀_WHYS, you should really consider stopping calling Naomi Wolf a "feminist". #mooreandme

@主播大秀_WHYS my question to Naomi is: "Naomi, why so patronising and condescending?"

@主播大秀_WHYS Here in Brazil lives of people wrongly accused of sex crimes have been destroyed. There's no compensation for such mistake.
Should sex-crime accusers be named?
