Indeed. The bottom line is, if she had a physical relationship with the guy after he allegedly assaulted her, then it looks very bad on her part.

Over a third of women and a fourth of men have been raped, assaulted or harrased on intimate relationships. There can be duress, blackmail and abuse of power involved, it's a very complex issue. Add simply being coerced into a relationship and something like 50% of both sexes have experienced it at least once. Not to mention up to 90% case of sexual abuse are estimated not to be reported even on developed countries, while false accusations ammount to less than 10% on every credible study - less than 1% of all accusations, according to some. All of these statistics are easily and readily available on many papers you can find on the internet.
At the same time it's clear the woman is extremely uncomfortable and afraid after the whole situation while he, who already formerly covered for a pedophile mod and bragged about grabbing another woman's ass, reacted extremely poorly with the obvious results we're seeing so far. People who are calling him out for it aren't doing so on "emotional rhetoric" alone as someone mentioned.
OT - That being said, it seems like he might bring the site back while axing off-topic discussions, so combined with the remaining members and new mods who are a-OK with the reputation of its owner, NG could be a much different, if somewhat smaller, community on the future.
Feminism is a social movement and it's original goal was for equality for women. Because it's a movement and not a definition for "belief in women's equality" or "belief in equality of the sexes", it changes over time just like how any other movement changed over time because the people that organized them changed out or goals were accomplished, etc. There's a lot of literature about feminism being a movement and how it changed over the years hence the 1st wave feminism, 2nd wave feminism, etc.
