It absolutely reflects reality. What DOESN'T effect reality is when you haphazardly take any accusation as true or even likely until proven otherwise because "most women don't lie about this". The evidence in this case is the evidence in this case. That's reality. The idea that anyone making an allegation must be believed until proven otherwise is disgusting regardless of the claim.
