It's a little long, but I think she has a really important point to make that, like most important ideas here, are getting lost in the hoopla.<br />http://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2011/07/08/dublin-panel-women-atheist-activists/#comment-116920AllSteviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17291260249511094841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114255610641579327.post-73506107904114731422011-07-13T14:33:35.981-07:002011-07-13T14:33:35.981-07:00One of my newfound Twitter followers did a summary...One of my newfound Twitter followers did a summary post, and in it he linked to this one, which seems to locate the source of the shitstorm.

She had said she wanted to go to bed, so she had expressed her plans for the rest of the night/morning.<br /><br />What she said wasn't wrong, either. She expressed her feelings about it, but instead of telling a few galpals about it, she put it out on the interwebs for all the world to see. There's a huge diversity of viewpoint and experience amongst atheists. Personally, I've known a woman who left a bar with a "nice" guy and got raped then stabbed 23 times and left for dead in an alley. I've also left bars with guys who wound up being my boyfriend. And I've also been hit on by married guys who I thought I'd just had a friendship with. (That ends the friendship for me). I'd be offended by being invited back to a guy's room too. (In my experience that would be a ruse, not a real invitation for *just* coffee)<br /><br />The diverse viewpoints expressed just prove that atheism attracts diverse people who make up their own minds about things. We don't have to agree on anything. The only thing we agree about is not agreeing with theists.LadyAtheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12132821431322748921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114255610641579327.post-88988670560057003352011-07-11T23:53:32.557-07:002011-07-11T23:53:32.557-07:00Thank you for presenting this in a well thought ou...Thank you for presenting this in a well thought out and rational manner. Many seem to willfully ignore the Stef Mcgraw portion as it does not fit the narrative presented by the Rebecca Team. I appreciate your brand of feminism and applaud your strength to speak out. Some will call you a gender traitor but it is clear that you on a much greater team, that of humanity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
