Why would you want to have as many traumatized women as possible? To keep Feminism relevant , of course.

Look, no one, absolutely no one disagrees with the aims and outcomes of what is commonly known as First, and even Second Wave feminism which is about equity and opportunity.

More to the point, Shermer has been pointed out as a person who's supposedly raped in the past and the reason they made the accusation public (or so they say) was to warn others (women, mostly) of his practices.
