Sexism and Sex
Lately, there’s been some hubbub going on in the skeptic/atheist community. I’d be remiss to not mention anything about it, though I am already late. I don’t want to dwell on the details and specifics but talk about a greater picture. That said, I want to say that no one should be told how to feel in any given situation. Many women are often on guard and easily creeped-out but this a product of past experiences (or stories we’ve heard), not necessarily a product of what...
Read MoreTAM9 From Outer Space: Schedule of Events has been released
The 2011 edition of The Amazing Meeting guest list and events have been released alongside an expensive price tag, even for the cheapest option. This is the main reason we only did one day last year.

Read MoreVision From Feeling Video Part II from TAM8. Starring Me!

Unfortunately, I missed the demonstration but heard that it did not make her claim appear substantial. In any...
Read MoreThe Skeptic Movement surely could use more People of Color
A little over three years ago, I wrote a piece entitled “Why Aren’t More Women Atheists?“. After attending The Amazing Meeting this year and receiving a comment from my friend Wendy (pictured just below, center) reminding me of this, I decided to revisit this notion. There have been a great deal of lady atheist and skeptic bloggers and readers that have come to be known since I first wrote that post in May of 2007.
