Slate Article by Rebecca Watson (SkepChick)Rebecca Watson is a well-known skeptic but in this article she comments on the rampant mysogeny within skeptic and atheist circles.
Certainly some Christian groups have backwards attitudes to the roles of women in society. Certain strains of atheism are also prone to institutionalized depravity and sexism. Peter Singer's defense of pedophilia and bestiality comes to mind, Richard Dawkins' attitude towards rape, and the disproportional number of men to women in skeptic and atheist communities. also Anti-religious bigotry is every bit as offensive as other forms.
Good point. I think you see in atheist communities widespread acceptance of pornography. If you support pornography, you support women being pimped out. Period. The women who make pornography almost all use drugs and rely on selling their bodies to whoever will pay for their drug habit. They are enslaved to the sex trade, most of them want to get out of it.
Atheists are typically about the cause of feminism only in the context of criticizing religion, typically so they can partake in activities such as promiscuity that severely harm women, leaving them with unwed children and a choice to either kill their children or be slaves to an economic system.
