I won't deny the misogyny of my fellow atheists here, is probably remnants of misogyny of our national culture, but I really hope when we turned that things would be different.
I hope that can explain my skewed opinion. As such a lot of people here look up to Dawkins and Harris, and I hoped they'd set a better example.
Where do you live? Knowing this would go a long in giving context to the observations you shared.
Are you studying in your home country? I'm trying to make sense of the reported difficulty of being open about your disbelief, but yet have the opportunity to attend atheist conferences as well as encountering atheists at university.
