"I am not a Skepchick"

nlakes · 2012-09-18T05:22:26+00:00

Back story:

Brain-dead atheist/feminist bloggers who hate gender roles but think men need to treat women with special privileges, claimed that women would not feel safe at TAM by not adopting some feminist attitudes, like shaming men for being men.

Since TAM is not about politics, they rejected these crack pot ideas.

These femtards then kicked up a fit saying they can expect a mass female exodous. It didn't happen.

Great post, I felt she really drove her point home.

Things have looked a little different to me though; my impression of the sequence of events is that the Skepchicks are a following the 'high school clique' formula, whereby a small minority of individuals use selective bullying to intimidate the rest of the group into going along with their behaviour.

how can surly amy be taken seriously by anyone when she posts like a petulant child in response to anything even slightly critical of her? How is A+ even a movement? Are there that many intellectually / developmentally challenged individuals who consider themselves skeptics?

Also this is only tangentially related to MR at best.

When is Rebecca Watson going to get tossed out of the TAM on her ass?

I am personally fed up with this science-training lacking attention whore taking the spotlight in matters that require science training.

I have no idea what's going on right now.

Perhaps these skeptics just are skeptical of the dogma of feminism.

Whaa?

She can dislike the vitriol present in this ongoing debate, but she should know that it started with (and continues to be present in) the backlash of Rebecca's video. Go check out those comments to remind yourself of just how big of assholes those anti-feminists there are.

I don't defend false accusations of sexism or misogyny, but... I also haven't seen that. Who among the prominent bloggers was stepping out of line?
