Don’t like Reddit’s r/atheism community? Just go to r/athiesm
They call r/athiesm atheism for bad spellers but it seems to be another atheist community. Sure, it’s much, much smaller but the conversation is typically more fulfilling. There’s also been the addition of r/GodlessWomen for women concerned about the sexism in other communities. Also, for skepticism, check out r/skeptic. Personally, I don’t think r/atheism (spelled correctly) is that bad. What I mean to say is that there is no more misogyny than you would find in any...
Read MoreI’ve been struggling with the word “Feminist” lately. I should specify: I’m an Equity Feminist.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been thinking over feminism and it’s meaning. What I’ve come to realize is that it’s not the word that’s the problem, it’s perception.

Read MoreWhy does everyone keep leaving out Stef McGraw as if she doesn’t exist?
She is the reason this blew up in the first place. I’m tired of seeing that it’s just a few men who don’t like Rebecca Watson personally. This is much deeper than that. I really want to move on from this but I keep reading the exact same perspective from big bloggers, completely ignoring Stef McGraw or stclairose. Is this on purpose to make a point? I feel like rational dissenter’s voices are being quelled for not going along with some form of groupthink. Stef’s...
Read MoreWhile what Richard Dawkins said is insensitive, I see where he’s coming from
First, we have this: Dear Muslima Stop whining, will you. Yes, yes, I know you had your genitals mutilated with a razor blade, and . . . yawn . . . don’t tell me yet again, I know you aren’t allowed to drive a car, and you can’t leave the house without a male relative, and your husband is allowed to beat you, and you’ll be stoned to death if you commit adultery. But stop whining, will you. Think of the suffering your poor American sisters have to put up with. Only this...
