More than that it's the dividing of atheists that bothers me. We are marginalized and we need all of is to affect change. Division and exclusion is not productive and does not serve that goal.
Yeah, I am a feminist too. I agree that there are downsides to the traditional roles assigned both sexes, but I feel like women have gotten by far the shorter stick. Good point about robbing men of their agency in sexual relations. Sexuality gets in touch with something more primal. If we approach sex as a purely deliberate act, I don't really think anyone will be completely happy.
