If atheist leaders can't turn the same critical eye on their own biases that they point at religion, then what is the point?<br /><br />But that's why I'm making a stink about this. We should hold our own movement up to a higher standard than we hold religions, and by doing so, we make it better.<br /><br /><a href="http://m.thenation.com/article/181736-atheists-show-their-sexist-side" rel="nofollow">Here's</a> another good article about the problem:<br /><br />"Here's a great way to make a movement: have your most famous and powerful public figures obsess over Henry Higgins's famous question, "Why can't a woman be more like a man?" Why aren't they more into critical thinking, argument, logic? more rational? Why do they accuse a man of sexual harassment when he's just trying to chat them up in an elevator at 4 in the morning? Why do they get drunk and then accuse men of rape? Then, having alienated a huge number of actual and potential members, to whom you sound arrogant, vain, sexist and clueless, look around and wonder, Gee, where are the women? They must be even less rational than we thought!"C. L.

I had no idea all this was going on. I'm ...Wow! I had no idea all this was going on. I'm one of the naive ones who thought atheism and progressive thought went hand in hand.<br /><br />I guess organizations will be organizations. I'll just stay under my rock and occasionally creep out and read 'Letters From A Broad...' to keep in touch with reality. :o)Just Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17617582702842642998noreply@blogger.com
