	Ask if the event or virtual space in which the harassment occurred has any type of policy or TOS regarding harassment. If not, you may want to ask the administration to institute such a policy. If one is already in place, you can discuss with the administration ways to make it easier to report violations. Of course these measures are only effective if the incidents that are reported are taken seriously and the policy is enforced.

	Feminists don't always agree on what is the feminist thing to do.

		+	==Personal disagreement==
		+	Not all people get along on a personal level. If a particular woman does not get along with a particular person in a position of leadership or respect in a particular feminist community, that woman may be reluctant to do anything that would increase the likelihood of them coming into contact with each other or being associated with each other.
		+	==Burnout==
		+	A woman may have done feminist work in the past, but may have become exhausted and/or traumatized by the work and/or the backlash that often occurs when attempting to make a positive change. She may not be able to cope with additional reminders of the status quo, or additional backlash.
