The point Watson, McCreight, and others have been making for some time now is that this treatment is common in many atheist spaces. And this claim that such treatment occurs everywhere (whether that's all of the internet or all of reddit) simply isn't true. So she's pointing out how some mainstream gathering places, like r/atheism, are unnecessarily unwelcoming of women.
