I've addressed your oddly bullying tone in another comment.
The simple fact is that I have no genuine experiences or evidence to add to the conversation, and I suspect this is true of others as well. I reject the notion that I should speak out if I have nothing to say. I'm not the one ruling myself out from being anyone's "ally", I'm just ruling myself out from being anyone's parrot. If all you want is parrots for allies, that says more about you than me.
If all you're asking for is someone to say "yep, that's awful" whenever someone else reports something awful happening, I have to question the notion that there isn't enough of that already.

That's pretty much what we're asking for at a bare minimum, and no, there isn't enough of that at all. Educate yourself, man. When women are blogging left and right (all those links in the article were from just the past week) about still being harassed on a regular basis, it's Really Quite Clear that this isn't happening enough at all.

Yup, that's awful.
