A really good post about the recent problems with rape culture in atheist/skeptic blogs this week.

With commenters who mostly actually get it, no less. That's awfully nice after the other posts I've been reading on the subject.

seriously!

it really shouldn't surprise me, given how pervasive patriarchy and rape culture are, but I'm really dismayed at the ridiculous reaction some of the people in the atheist/skeptical groups are displaying. they're supposed to be inquiring minds.

Some atheists are depressingly dogmatic. And also, certain types of sexism seem to correlate with priding oneself on being super-rational. :-(
