All you have to do is link them to FTB and related to spread criticism. People will see it for themselves..

As for thunderf00t, well he's not replied to my messages, so hmph.

I can't believe PZ Myers is a professor and scientist and stuff. I mean, imagine being taught by him...and reading about him...and then finding out what he's REALLY like o.o Holy SHIT. That would be so disorienting!

"Because I am a woman I face sexual harassment in the street" Well, yeah...if people doing it like women. But I hope that's not to imply it's a MAN thing...it's just seen as more innocent when a woman does it. Women do it too.

"Because I am a woman I feel intrinsic fear being alone around men I don't know." Okay, okay... is this becuase you had an experience specific to YOU? Then don't just write "because I am a woman"..put a note on that shit. If this is truly innocent, the fact someone can just up and post that without the note or feel they can is scary. Otherwise it's kinda sexist if it implies "Men are generally predators of women."

"Because I am bisexual I haven't made up my mind." Okay, now that one is irritating, definitely. I agree there.

"Because I am bisexual people's tendency to react with disgust or cover themselves when they believe they're in the presence of a gay person makes me feel subhuman" Remember that feeling if you are one who judges guys just because they're in the same space as you.

Grimalkin's atheist category is clearly a bunch of false becauses.

Any quotes that are clearly agreeable, I agree with. I was not trying to comment on them all.

"Because I am poor, my depression is considered an excuse for being lazy, not a serious mental illness
Because I am poor, I get judged for wanting to buy good, healthy food instead of cheep food
Because I am poor, I get judged for wanting to buy cheep food, instead of healthy food
Because I am poor, I am judged when I do something fun or relaxing instead of getting another job"

^^^ Now those are legit... if you go through ANY trouble being poor, if you're not perfect, you risk being called a lazy user. So not right. And yeah, the people judging poor people for buying cheap food and then turning around and judging them for buying healthy food are also annoying. Make up your mind.

"
Because I am an atheist I am considered highly untrustworthy in the eyes of everyone in this society
Because I am an atheist I am considered to be evil by most people, lacking morality and ethics
Because I am an atheist I am socially marginalized by this society in a really powerful way"


I don't know what that's like, but it's legit in a community with militant religious people.

Feel sorry for the extremely poor person :/ I don't remember what it was like to be poor. Was lucky to have people who beat the odds.

"
Because I am a woman I have been given death threats and rape threats simply for being so, far more so for being trans
Because I am a woman my opinion on anything is ignored in the company of men, singly so and doubly so for being trans
Because I am a woman I am seen as an object for some men to possess, and not as a person for them to interact with"

O.O Now that is funked up. I'm glad I don't live anywhere near people like that. As for object, I don't count being hit on as being objectified. When people insist you are just for hitting on and physical pleasure, then it's an issue. Because people misuse the word, I can't trust that people are truly being objectified without asking them details.

"Because I am a woman I avoid eye contact on the bus, for fear of inviting harassment.
Because I am a woman I usually modulate my speech, knowing that expressing myself as strongly as a man might I'm likely to be labeled a bitch.
Because I am a woman I am aware that my appearance is constantly being subjected to critique."

Again...do they mean people who are attracted to women, or are they saying that MEN aren't hit on, even aggressively? And what the hell is "expressing myself as strongly as a man" supposed to mean? Shouting is shouting, and if someone wants to call a woman a bitch for it, they'll at least call a man an asshole or ballistic for it.
