Still, Richards felt that there is still a huge amount of institutional resistance to feminism, noting that Secular Woman got disinvited from an annual meeting of secular organizations, after members spoke up about these issues. The reaction to ''Buzzfeed'''s story about Krauss is disheartening, as well. While the American Humanist Association issued a statement of support for Krauss' accusers, [[Center for Inquiry]] still has Krauss as an honorary board member. The [[Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science|Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason & Science]] have been silent.<ref>[https://www.salon.com/2018/03/02/for-atheists-metoo-might-be-too-little-too-late/ For atheists, #MeToo might be too little, too late] by Amanda Marcotte, Salon, March 2, 2018</ref>}}

{{Cquote|To be fair, several prominent [[atheist organizations]] and activists severed ties with Krauss shortly after the article’s publication. The American Humanist Association released a statement on March 9 saying they would no longer invite him to speak at any upcoming conferences, and they are considering rescinding his 2015 Humanist of the Year Award. The Center for Inquiry likewise announced that they were suspending their association with Krauss “pending further information,” as did [[evolution]]ary biologist [[Jerry Coyne]] after doing his own investigation.
