I think it is harassment when like this it's the culmination of frustrations where a person is vilified for going against the populist flow, which in this case I believe to be seriously misguided. Women have consistently defended their position to be shot down by open misogynism cheered on from the side lines. This is in no way showing sensitivity to a minority. Quite the opposite. I can't understand the willingness in championing lack of sensitivity. If you don't get it, why not try a little understanding rather than throwing stones with the mob?
I don't see this. You know what I see? A lot of open-minded, pro-equality-for-all atheists (and several just as great, non-atheists). You can complain all you want, but that's all it is, complaining. You aren't going against the populist flow here by yelling out "inequality!". Go to the GOP, various public schools in the U.S., etc. and shout that. Here however, it is misplaced. What misogyny? Also, please explain what you meant by "you don't get it". What do we/they not get?
PS: I'm disappointed in you, that you want to keep fighting this lost battle. Not that you should care of course.
