RationalWiki.org is a politically left-leaning website that skews towards atheism/agnosticism in terms of its worldview. RationalWiki has a small fraction of the web traffic it had before October 2019 (see: RationalWiki and web traffic).
As far as online atheism, atheist websites appear to receive significantly less traffic from women.

RationalWiki.org is a politically left leaning website that skews towards atheism/agnosticism in terms of its worldview.
RationalWiki tries to portray itself as a thinking person's wiki where the editors carefully analyze various matters. But SimilarWeb.com data shows a significant portion of RationalWiki's web audience is interested in "adult" material as can be seen by the "adult" audience interests in the above graphic.
Atheists have played a significant role in both the production and consumption of pornographic material (See: Atheism and pornography and Atheism and child pornography).
Many feminists contend that pornography exploits women.[1] RationalWiki is a pro-feminism website.[2]

Trustworthiness of websites linking to RationalWiki
According to the leading search engine optimization website Search Engine Land: "Citation Flow is a number of predicting how influential a URL might be based on how many sites link to it. Trust Flow is a number predicting how trustworthy a page is based on how trustworthy sites tend to link to trustworthy neighbors."[3]
As far as a website's domain, high authority and trustworthy websites commonly have their trustflow metric higher than their citation flow metric. As can been above, RationalWiki has the exact opposite. Perhaps its web visitors who visit adult websites link to RationalWiki from low quality websites that are untrusted.
