In the past I have mocked a lot of the hyperbolic rage-whining that comes at near-incessant frequency from the band of devoted camp followers that have made it their lifes mission to destroy FreethoughtBlogs, Skepchick, Atheism+, feminism, the concept of equality, the colour orange, and basically anything else they consider a personal affront. I have not held back in voicing my scorn for a group of people who seem to have endless amount of time, energy, hatred, and immaturity I seriously do not know where these people find the wherewithal to work themselves into this level of froth over the fact that a blog network exists.
One of the oft-parroted claims made by this shrieking horde is that FTBchickminism+ is ruining the movement: that atheism was doing just stupendously well for everyone before the FTBullies* showed up and ruined it by
I honestly have never been clear on what the mechanism of ruining has been. This, of course, is contrasted against the other claim that FTBchickminism+ is so ludicrously marginal and derogated by all right-thinking atheists that it is an abject failure and cant possibly amount to anything. It is sometimes the same people making these contradictory claims. The mind boggles.
Up until now, my position on this kind of over-wrought conspiracy mongering has been fairly consistent: FTB is not the boogey-man; its a network of blogs that (mostly) existed before there was a network to begin with. Atheism+ isnt ruining atheism; its a reaction to the fact that it was already ruined for a lot of people. Skepchick is not rounding up all male atheists to throw them into a witchs cauldron of menses and liquid misandry. Go get hobbies that dont involve Twitter, Reddit, or Photoshop.
That was until a recent event that, as far as I know, I am the first person to bring to the public sphere.

(146,218 posts)I don't really follow all the drama going on within that community, but I hope this piece will lead to some good natured laughing at oneself.

Once High Priestess McCreight has completed her biology degree, the time shall be ripe to extract DNA from High Priest PZ and Her Glittering Majesty, The All-Powerful And All-Knowing Rebecca (long may her terrible reign last). McCreight will combine the DNA and create the ultimate hybrid: Pezecca Watsyers. This beast will have all the privilege of a white man, with all the low cunning, ruthlessness, and hypocritical sex appeal of a ladyfeminist it will be unstoppable.
Behind the awesome power of the Kraken, we shall begin rounding up all the non-indoctrinated men into the re-education camps (code named: The Friend Zone). Successfully indoctrinated men, including our long-term mindslave collaborators, will be housed in the forced breeding tents in order to ensure that they are forever obligated to pay us alimony so that we dont have to work. Any resisters, or people who have previously been labeled with the approved pejorative slurs, will be rounded up and boiled alive in our cauldron of menses and liquid misandry.
