Race? Politics? Religion? What metric determines?

To me "believe women" always meant "prosecute based on a mere accusation without a fair trial".

Yes.

And you have these leftist lovelies that want to argue semantics over the word all at though it changes the meaning of either phrase.

Anything to muddy the water.

Once accused you are guilty...believe women.

If anyone says you're not guilty of the accusation, they are victim shaming and perpetuating the continuance of the oppressive "patriarchy"...believe women.

An accusation from 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago that went unreported and shaky on the details - no worries...believe women.

But when Israeli women reported being raped by Palestinians - "Whaaaat?!? You know b*****s be lyin'!!!"

Hypocrites, using histrionics to get others to join the hysteria.
