  • an atheist woman wrote an article about sexism in atheist spaces in like 2011 (including a story about some man aggressively hitting on her in an elevator at some atheist conference, y’know, a super enclosed space). this was too much for a huge proportion of the atheists, including dawkins. they dragged her name through the mud and basically did a proto-gamergate-type tantrum about it. because how dare a woman say sexism exists in atheist spaces when they’re not actively murdering women or making them wear hijabs. calm down, sweaty.

    it was gross, and the only reason i didnt get sucked in (i was younger and stupider then) is cos i found out about it on PZ myers’ blog and he had the correct reading on the situation, IIRC.
