This is hardly feminism when the ending paragraph* is a call to begin every rape allegation on the assumption that she's lying. See my comment in the thread. This takes us steps back, in a system where, believe it or not, most rape victims are still subject to more interrogation than their rapists.

*"Nonetheless, the recognition that false allegations exist — not that they’re common, but that they exist — and can be quite dangerous is a step forward. Let’s build on that. Not to promote hostility toward accusers, but to work toward a culture of fairness to both accuser and accused. "
