Sexism and Atheism: mutually exclusive, surely?

A single woman went to an atheist conference in a country she was not familiar with. While there, she spoke at this conference, about how she does not like to be sexualised out of context. Basically, her talk was about how to avoid making women feel uncomfortable, so as to create a more welcoming atmosphere and get more women to enter the atheist community…..

Thanks to the fast response of all of our supporters across the country, many of you have already heard that our office was broken into last night and set on fire.

  1. Let’s treat women badly, destroy resources to help them, and help the Republicans take over everything state by state

    Y’know on second thoughts, let’s NOT!

    Let’s actually do, y’know kinda the exact opposite of that shall we? 😉

  2. Powerfully put.

    I think posts like this one do a much better job of explaining the problem with a sexist mindset (and what that is) than the purity flagellation squad over on several of the other blogs on FTB with regard to card-gate.

    I’m not saying that it’s a bad idea to disagree or call out what someone sees as bad behaviour. Rather, I’m tired of the presumption that all posters are sexist, self-centered, MRA apologists, slime-pit members, or privileged until proven otherwise. There cannot be a discussion in such a poisonous atmosphere.
