The article comes across as just baseless accusations and as if trying to discredit the atheist community. They used Rebecca Watson as a source and she's had an axe to grind about men in the atheist community for years. I spoke with him today and I'm not buying the claims.

How about the end quote that accusations of assault aren't extraordinary claims because they "happen to women all the time"? Sexual assault is likely more common than people would think, due to
#JustWorld biases, but the idea that it's so frequent that accusation is auto-truth? -
An accusation of sexual assault IS an extraordinary claim. The issue with using an extraordinary evidence standard (Beyond a reasonable doubt) is that most assaults will go without consequences. The issue with lowering the
#BurdenOfProof is people can then weaponize accusations.
