I could see it now. Would that mean we get to cast Ann Coultier as the villian? :p

In seriousness, a particular brand of radical feminism seems to have taken root within trans circles. It's amazing how little insight its adherants have, though. I mean, they're willing to bash men and attack men left and right and it's perfectly justified, but the second someone changes it from "hostility towards men" to "hostility towards anyone born with a penis," they completely lose their shit. Why can't they see that treating people like shit is a shitty thing to do regardless of their identity and that attacking someone for an inborn, immutable trait puts you solidly in the 'asshole' category?

I can understand where the feminist side to atheism comes from. I mean, it's easy to point out the scientific innacuracies to theology and it's easy to point out the logical fallicies to their dogma, but it's also easy to point out the vast amount of social injustice championed by religion, too. It's also easy to notice how much of atheism is populated by socially awkward dudes, some of who can make women uncomfortable. But there's a big difference between forming a safe space where you can feel comfortable and squashing any criticisms and bad mouthing everyone who disagrees with you from the safety of an echo chamber. They seem to be doing the later.
