Should we as a society believe women who say they experienced sexual assault or rape?

 Well should we, just on face value?

My answer is be skeptical. If non-believers say that their non-belief is due to there being no evidence of a divine, then adjust your stance when accusations of sexual assault is brought forth. Say that in each case of an accusation of sexual assault is just that - an accusation  - that has yet to be proven and due to this is devoid of direct evidence. The accused is innocent until proven guilty. 

The same goes for sexism, racism, xenophobia and LGBT+phobia.
