If you want these things dealt with in a manner that suits your notion of decorum, you have to keep things from reaching the point where the “little people” revolt. If you want to quiet the people demanding changes, you have to fix the problem or persuade them that it’s not a problem worth fixing. (Pro tip: That last is not an option when the problem is sexual harassment and assault. It just isn’t going to happen.) If you want to persuade them their concerns aren’t valid, you have to demonstrate enough respect to address them directly instead of talking to the air.
That’s the only way you get control how problems are addressed–to address them.
