Soon Meyers won't have any friends left, only his anonymous Hoard which will eventually turn on him when he slips up and commits an unforgivable SJW sin.

Can PeeZus really be pleased that he has the commentators he currently has on his blog?

When he started the blog, was he really hoping to end up where he is today?

In many ways his is a tragic story.

Their cruelty is horrible to witness but totally unsurprising. Her enemies are far more empathetic toward her than her allies.

To go full cynic for a moment, I wouldn't be surprised if PZ just considers it an opportunity to shore up his own dwindling readership by cannibalizing some of hers.

No idea what's happening there, but there seem to be some lulz to be had as everyone ever associated with AVFM present or departed seems on a desperate hunt to find the duplicate key to the pantry to prove their theory about the other guys stealing their strawberries.

I keep up with (some of) the MGTOW stuff, and the short general-case version seems to be "MRAs are acting like gender-flipped Feminists. The Other Paul in particular is acting like a gender-flipped Sarkeesian. They just want power/attention/etc for themselves. Fuck 'em. We're not changing the world to suit them, we're doing our own thing." The MRA response is along the lines of "well, then you're just like the Lesbian Separatists, except for the fact that you don't give a fuck about homosexuality, ya bunch of fuckin' neck-beard fedora-wearing permavirgins." Cue Deep Rifts.

They're both completely right, IMHO. The MRAs are the gender-flipped version of the radfems, and the MGTOW are the male counterpart to the Lesbian Separatists. We don't need special rights for women or men, and we don't need to hide from society because we don't like it.

What we do need are equal standards before the law for all individuals (and we already have that more or less), the end of the big influence of identity policies (which won't go away easily, but at least are easy to mock) and maybe the gradual mellowing of some extreme, silly and harmful stereotypes (slut-shaming, virgin-shaming, etc.). But the latter is a gradual process that won't happen overnight just because the vocal minorities are being loud enough. And anyway most problems in Western societies don't require special groups of activists to handle them.

It's not even libertarian. It's (Big-L) Libertarian as in the right-wing American Libertarian party. Hell, might as well just call them the Tea Party.

One of the big differences you see in countries is between a Negative concept of freedom (preventing the government from infringing) and a Positive concept of freedom (maximizing the amount of freedom for all citizens). Libertarians support the former, and yes, their stance is indicative of that.

I don't think it's reasonable to label the U.S. Libertarian Party as right wing. On all social issues they are more left wing than most Democrats.

She acknowledged that her list was not complete and I think that there is some jumping to conclusions about motivations going on. The unwillingness to respond is "problematic", but I don't see how conclusions can be drawn about which 'side' she favours as it is consistent with wanting to protect her organisation from the rift. Shorter me, don't jump the gun and make enemies out of possible friends.

I totally disagree. The counter to your "don't jump the gun and make enemies..." is "don't blind yourself with hope and allow a politician who is going to go with what they see as the majority view without regard to principle to fool you for one minute." It was crucial that Johnson be hit with strong push-back from the first moment she stuck her ignorant nose into the issue. That some took a open and honest approach (e.g., Skep tickle) and some pushed too hard (e.g., Jacques) was exactly correct and part of why having a variety of opinions and methods is so valuable.

Politician-types need to know that strolling in with unprincipled platitudes and "can't we all get along" bullshit is going to be met with the truth. That Johnson is being exposed in that JTE thread is a very good thing.

tl;dr - I, for one, have no interest in having K Johnson as a friend

There must be something else going on in the background that hasn't been identified. I just can't see PZ and Benson having a real falling out over brown people in France; they just don't give enough of a shit about things not-American. I've been going over recent events in my mind and I have no strong theory, but I'm confident that there's some deeper disagreement between PZ and Benson that we haven't noticed.

Except when it's women or other protected groups feeling silenced by white males in some vaguely-defined way. Then no problem is too small for a top-down intervention:

What is the problem you're trying to solve?
There is currently no space on-wiki where a woman can go and be sure that she'll be able to participate in discussions without being dominated by men's voices. Wikipedia needs a place where women can feel safer and not always overwhelmed by male advice, criticism, and explanations.

Can't think of any more at the moment. But it looks like it's time to push the leadership of these orgs further to determine their position and to document it on a blog or something. I'm feeling adrift out here.

I'm not expecting any org to cut off all contact with all FTB/A+ lunatics (Greta Christina was just on FFRF podcast), but they all seem to have been trying to split the difference for years.

Through unfair accusations of sexism.
Through rape accusations.
Through official policies that lend credence to fantastic inventions of "Slymepit" oppression.

That AA/Eberhard thread has really pushed me over the brink of hoping that we can somehow activate a coherent movement to defend the separation of church and state and propagate rational thinking in the US. (The rest of the world isn't as much of a problem.)
Other US orgs:
American Humanist Association (AHA)
Camp Quest
Secular Coalition for American (SCA)
Skeptics Society

some others also here: https://secular.org/member_orgs

Skepticon on the list above is a conference (not so much an org)
Another conference is Imagine No Religion in British Columbia (I don't know what group puts INR on)
My basic rule is that all primarily-political organizations will be taken over by ideological extremists. Some may self-correct but it usually takes a large drop in membership for that to happen.

Part of the problem is the internet. I think it promotes clicks to sites that are the most outrageous. This perpetuates the idea that people agree with the post. This also helps fund the most radical ideas on the internet since revenue is generated by the number of clicks.

I am going to try to stop. Just STOP.

This is hard for me. I love a good fight (hell, I love a bad fight). This means I tend to get sucked in by the most outrageous posts. This just feeds the freaks. Every day I try to remember to say ... No More Clicks. I often read "The Humanist" on line for example. I am a Humanist Celebrant, so I have some skin in this game, so to speak. There are several people who comment on The Humanist who I routinely disagree with (Greta and Sikivu come to mind). I just stay away from their posts. If I comment that I disagree I will probably get pounced on anyway... and I will just get them more hits.

At the same time make sure I promote the posts I agree with. The ones that are sensible and informative. Even if I leave a comment that simply says "I agree" it shows my support. It is a bit like voting. Every time you click somewhere you are voting with your eyeballs. If you know there is someone whose opinion is ill informed and biased... just stay away.

I have also decided to push harder at the idea that we atheists are just regular nice people. That we are just like everyone else. The idea that we can tell others that we are better than them is part of our problem. No one is going to believe that I am better than them just because I claim to be logical. But... I can show theists that I am as good as them. I can act in a way that promotes this. I can be open, generous, giving, fun, compassionate. I can stop calling theists "brain damaged" and I can start joining them in doing service projects.

I have been really shocked by how much I have enjoyed Sunday Assembly in Detroit. It is so great to meet a ton of atheists who are really nice people. And... we are all very different. But, since we meet face-to-face and not on some blog, we are generous and open to each other. Part of the philosophy to Sunday Assembly is to be radically inclusive. This means that we are not going to be anti-religious. We are non-religious. This is a big distinction and it really opens us all up to be more open and understanding of each other.

It is the old basic stuff. Treat others with respect even if you disagree. This is a switch from the Christopher Hitchen's aggressive "New Atheist." It is also certainly not "Atheism Plus." It is inclusive and not exclusive. I am almost embarrassed at how I poo pooed "Atheist Church" when I first heard of Sunday Assembly. Anyway. Just my comment for the day.

I don't follow the Patheos bloggers regularly, and more often than not, I read them by following a link from a tweet or from here.

It seems to me, that up until a few months ago, the comments sections were open warfare between pitters and FTB SJW's.

Lately though, I sense a lack of SJW voices. It appears to be more "the pitters" against "the fence sitters".

I saw a comment during my short spell at Myers blog, where someone was stating that they had given up even reading at Patheos or Atheism Ireland, never mind commenting there. I wonder if this is becoming widespread among FTB commenters.

Anybody else notice this?

Many of the SJW types will only post at Love Joy Feminism now because it is a " safe space.". The banhammer is wielded against anyone who makes then feel remotely uncomfortable. They won't even post at The Friendly Atheist anymore because it is too "hostile" a place and allows people with unpopular or just conflicting opinions to post. LJF used to be a good blog, but it is turning into a mini-Pharyngula.

I don't know if it's 'wrong'. How many young girls have asked to be walking around with a bloody multilayer tea towel on their head, day in, day out? The law, which is the same for all, at least allows them some leeway.

I guess the shoulder strap part of the seat belt, when developed, was responsible for the demise of proper torpedo tits.

When I was young, every woman in my home town in England wore a headscarf. Have you ever seen Andy Capp? Flo always wears a headscarf outside. That is the way it was in England.

They'd also have the added advantage of tasting a lot nicer than they normally do. Win-win IMO

Make it halal: double win!

Halal pork. Definitely a niche market.

Yes, but did you like it? Did you also wear it indoors, all day? Did it consist of a narrow underlayer with a bulletproof top layer? Were you allowed to take it off if it didn't really suit you?

Did your father apply surah 4:34 if you took it off in public?

There are several interesting things here in my opinion. First is the fact that France has so many laws regulating how you dress. I think you can probably go topless but can't wear a hijab. It just seems fundamentally "non-liberal" to me. I am using the classic version of liberal here, meaning that people are free to pursue their happiness with a minimum of interference from the government. France creates a lot of "good" freedoms and "bad" freedoms in my opinion.

There certainly are dress codes and such at schools in the US, and you will get arrested for nudity (depending greatly on local regulations), but there is no law about a hijab. Very strange that there is in "uber-liberal" France.

Recently there was a hubbub over a woman not wanting to remove her burka for her driver license photo. It was ruled that it was reasonable to require her to show her face for the license. But, this is where the law ends in the US.

(please forgive me if I spell this clothing wrong. It seems there is no agreed to spelling and it is not in my spell checker... and I don't want to enact the labor to check).

My second thought is that there is a deep problem with the government forcing people to change their preferences. I can see the case for enforcing laws to protect a group from things like Jim Crow. I just can't see it as a good plan to force people to stop wearing their religious clothes. I imagine that French Jews can wear the scull cap. How can it be right to allow a Jew to wear a Yamika and a Muslim cannot wear a burka?

And, I should add, did girls have to wear from age 9 or even earlier?

Andy Capp would be Hartlepool's greatest claim to fame if it wasn't for the monkey hanging business.

Girls didn't wear headscarves. I'm sure that if the weather in Middlesbrough was transported to Nice, more French women would wear headscarves.
