These people are tragic. http://i.imgur.com/QdrhCtA.jpg They want people to sign a petition that tells Dawkins he needs to retract his own feelings about his own personal experiences?

Dawkins has a new book coming out in 2 weeks. It's running ahead of The Happy Atheist (as are the Kindle, paperback, and audio formats of The God Delusion). Any or all of which might sting just a bit. In other news, $7446 raised (of $5K goal) with 10 days left at Emery Emery's indiegogo Legal Fund ...

Meh, most of those buzzfeed women look better without the makeup to me and the same goes for the "real women".

So PZ Meyers has posted a really dreadful cartoon which details a woman using voices in her head as an excuse for a day off work. It's just not funny is the main problem, but it is also a terrible slur on sufferers of schizophrenia and other mental health illnesses. His commenters are telling him t...

No, it is not. this is just more circular nonsense.

Seriously? You're blaming the victim, at least through implication. This is one of the reason why it's hard for women to talk about these things, but you always get people saying "well you shouldn't have _________".

Can you possibly provide an example?

If you follow the exchange, it was about a specific quote by ceepolk.

There is obviously a middle ground between the utopian ideal and the way things are now. I think it's a fairly obvious point that moves in the direction of an ideal are positive even if it's an ideal that can never be truly reached. And victim blaming takes us in the opposite direction. I agree wit...
