The atheist community is hostile to women!

Yeah, right.

Lindsey: becoming an atheist in Uganda

And hi everybody, its been a while :)

I hate to break it you, but all that bad stuff is writ large in our genes courtesy of evolution. You (and Hitch) just got the order of precedence wrong. Bad monkey brains make bad religions, not the other way around. Tribalism is present in all the great apes; the only difference with us is we've d...

What pisses me so much is her ideologically-motivated, a priori dismissal of biological explanation for human nature - the same affliction that seems widespread among the liberals. Doubly so when people who claim to accept the theory of evolution so readily dismiss its implication when it doesn't s...

Sometimes I think it's easier to say "yes sure whatever" and then move on. Hahahah.

I agree. The word misogynist/misogyny has been rendered worthless thanks to its overuse, hasn't it? I for one stopped caring eons ago.

James, the issue I would take with your current stance is that it doesn't take into account the case of "dictionary feminism". Dictionary feminism is the basic one line description of feminism that most people will give if asked to define it. It goes something like: "feminism is the call for women ...

If the MRAs are the ones who finally get the baboons to implode, it will be one of the most satisfying things I've ever seen I suspect they will play a crucial role from this point onwards. They have something that a lot of people on our side of the debate within the atheist community lack - that b...

Just as with Thomas Jefferson, who wrote brilliantly about natural rights and human liberty while owning slaves in his own home, we here have a perfect example that all human beings are fallible, and no one's word should be treated as gospel or accepted without skepticism. Where do we go from here?...

Although, it's more taboo for men to abandon women to their fate, because men are regarded as being the protectors.

John the Other, Girl Writes What, and Typhon Blue discuss, among other things, the on going shenanigans with regards to the gender politics of the atheist-skeptic community in their most recent 'A Voice for Men' podcast. Integralmath (a.k.a. Justicar) calls in. Very interesting.

Yes, I want equal rights (and equal responsibilities/obligations in lieu of those rights) for everybody - regardless of any distinction, gender included.

Here is my take on this latest developement: I hereby reject the term "feminist" for identifying myself. Not because it is a bad term, or a bad phylosophy, but because it has been highjacked by a bunch of crybabies who would make any True(c) Feminist, or any woman for that matter, ashamed of being ...

This is irrelevant but I thought I'd share it anyway. I just met and talked to the original Machine Gun Preacher. He was right outside our building on his way to a nearby bank! He was played by Gerard Butler in the 2011 movie of the same name.
