Why so many "anti-feminists" in the atheist community?

I don't think anti-feminism is against females. It's against the impositions of an -ism, and the unbearable rhetoric, hypocrisy and implicit expectations of unconditional compliance. If someone tells me, "You must, always and under penalty of social stigma if you refuse, consider 'X' to be true," the first thing I'm going to do is argue to my death that "X" is not necessarily true. I'll call the social bluff on principal, just because-- fuck you for telling me what I am or am not allowed to think or believe.

Ok, after my rant I have to say that this position makes so much sense. I concede. You win this one

I do want to post this, not because all atheist must be feminist (I was put in my place on this one), but for those questioning the fact that women are paid less for the same job. It is an interesting read
