Hypothetically, let& #39;s just assume that the accused didn& #39;t actually make a conscious decision to abuse anyone. For a second let& #39;s pretend that they actually advocate for women. I would imagine, the first thing you would do is feel deeply sorry for unintentionally causing someone
trauma and pain. First you would take accountability for your actions, apologize to the survivor for not knowing or doing better and offer them any help that you can give (I.e paying for therapy). Next, you would make a statement and take accountability in public.
Ensure everyone that you are not a threat to society, that you will make an effort to learn about consent and do so. Then, each person would individually take their own time to forgive and trust you. The point is, you did better.
