Same principle applies.
Politicians claiming to take murder and robbery more seriously don’t necessarily do anything to actually reduce their prevalence.

Politicians' claims don't do anything about anything because they're words. But actually taking murder more seriously through action - allocating money to investigations, prosecutions, social services, better jobs - I'd be surprised if that had no effect.
The comment I replied to said "taking sexual harassment seriously" was pointless, not "talking about taking sexual harassment seriously" was pointless. I agree with the latter, not the former.
