Do you know how women defend themselves through words and social pressures? By the knowledge and implication that her boyfriend/dad/cousin/etc will kick your ass if you kick it up an additional level. Heck, the very existence of MAD is another example.
Certain tactics only work when combined with other tactics, even if only in threat. If they know we will never "escalate" to their level, they will forever feel completely comfortable sitting at it. Like a bully punching a nerd in the face knowing the kid can never hurt him.
Shit KIA was founded on emailing advertisers, literally one of the most basic forms of cancelling someone. It was banned because it became so effective the admins forced us to stop.
Hell that tactic is STILL effective, Amazon might have dropped their 40K show because of fans writing to them to either not do it or put Cavill in charge.
