Maybe People Should Not Look Up To YouTube Atheist

Oh, yeah, I've seen garbage like that. Donglegate doesn't look too great to feminists, either (although, to her credit, Adriana Richards has admitted that she didn't think the guy deserved to get fired, but that still doesn't justify the bad behavior on her part).

I've seen how harmful their behavior can be. I've talked before about being transsexual and so is my boyfriend. But he was also raised in a religious-fundamentalist household, where he was raised to believe that womens' holy duty was to get married and have as many babies as possible and not go out and do mens work like get jobs or think you have any authority. So he's seen real misogyny and the last thing he wants to become is a misogynist, so he goes to feminist sites and blogs for support on this. When he goes there, though, they make him feel like he's automatically a misogynist for being a man. I can't say I blame him because I've seen how hostile some of these sites can be towards men and masculinity, but if you knew Lee, he's damn near the least misogynistic person I've ever met in my life.

Y'know, as much as some of the feminists on the internet microanalize society to find the slightest little bit of misoyny, why can't hey ever analize and find bad behavior within their own groups? Why is it so difficult for the to have good behavior (and why are they asking others to behave better while having bad behavior themselves)?
