While I agree with the first part of what you said, I don't think the longterm solution is to call out individuals and make their lives horrible. It sure is a good way to maybe deter a few people from doing those misogynistic things. But what we need is actual structural change. It shouldn't be possible these people to do such things in the first place without being sanctioned. And we should educate people more on feminism and intersectional struggles in general.

counterpoint: many people fundamentally need to be shamed if they're being shitheads, or they will never improve. The important part is just that they also need to be given a clear way to redeem themselves.

Naming and shaming is part of the structural change.
