Sticking up for someone being harassed or treated unfairly isn't "being a snitch"

I'm explaining why this isn't the best path toward equal treatment. Companies may agree with your specifics but not the method.

Snitching on the neighborhood bully would be a good thing. Snitching on a company cooking the books, etc. But people also can't trust the snitch. Companies can't trust activists (whatever their persuasion).

Some other expressions of this are seen as “men clam up” in front of me. Basically they now don’t want something to be misinterpreted. It’s to be expected.

You're projecting. Maybe you wouldn't trust the "snitch". Most educated people would see him/her as a victim and show sympathy.

This isn't prison for crying out loud.
