I think this is a pretty unhelpful response which tends to diminish the gravity of serious allegations. I don't claim to work in a perfectly enlightened place where nobody ever faces harassment, but I'm confident "the nice manager" at my company has never harassed a coworker to the point of suicide and I've seen people get fired for isolated incidents of behavior which the lawsuit describes as pervasive and routine. If you're working for a company where this conduct could happen, you should try to find a better one; if you're building a company, you have a strong but achievable obligation to ensure it couldn't happen.
