This is becoming remarkably reminiscent of Tailhook. okasha Oct 2012 #87

Agree, it's an often repeated pattern which I had hoped we had moved beyond. cbayer Oct 2012 #88

Yes, there are atheists that are sexist pigs. Goblinmonger Oct 2012 #2

I had no idea skeptics were so organized. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #4

Here you go. rug Oct 2012 #5

Actually I'm not represented by any group. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #7

Frankly, being bound by stereotypical thinking is not actually free. rug Oct 2012 #14

You mean like catholicism? beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #17

No, I mean like this: rug Oct 2012 #19

That's not a belief, it's an opinion. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #20

Excuse me. You have some weird opinions. rug Oct 2012 #21

That's your opinion. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #22

No, it's an observation. rug Oct 2012 #23

Make up your mind. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #24

Pay attention. You called my observation an opinion. rug Oct 2012 #25

Right, my bad. My opinions are observations too. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #26

Yes, I can see how lucid and clear-eyed they are. rug Oct 2012 #28

They're almost as impressive as your spelling skills. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #30

They are far better than my typing skills. rug Oct 2012 #32

Okay, right. Your opinions are observations and mine are not. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #43

I"d say that's essentially correct. rug Oct 2012 #46

Just can't bear to look in the mirror, eh? beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #49

Who's talking about Catholics. rug Oct 2012 #52

I was. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #60

Well, good for you. Now show me where in the article that's a topic. rug Oct 2012 #62

Blatant hypocrisy is a valid topic. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #65

That's why there's that little button up there, "Post a thread in this forum". rug Oct 2012 #72

I prefer to talk about the hypocrisy of the moral majority. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #77

I'm sure you do. rug Oct 2012 #79

Sorry, you can't stereotype people whose only common trait is non-belief in superstition. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #83

Just be sure not to ask ruggie skepticscott Oct 2012 #29

I did not know that. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #31

You still don't know that. rug Oct 2012 #34

So tell me. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #35

See below. rug Oct 2012 #38

Your support of marriage equality (or lack of it) affects people I know and love. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #41

It is but it's entirely extraneous to this thread. rug Oct 2012 #47

Disagree. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #48

It's impossible if your goal is to change the topic from sexism among skeptics to stereotypes and rug Oct 2012 #53

The phrase "sexism among skeptics" is an attempt to stereotype non-believers. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #58

Lol, that's the subject of the article. rug Oct 2012 #61

And what a picture-perfect example of sowing discord in this forum it is. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #66

Really? Posting an article from a woman atheist describing the sexism she encountered? rug Oct 2012 #68

Perhaps you can find an article describing sexism among non-freckled people. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #70

Yes, non-freckled people are precisely analogous to skeptics and atheists. rug Oct 2012 #74

I resemble that remark. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #80

Are you reluctant to ask me directly? rug Oct 2012 #33

You have been asked directly skepticscott Oct 2012 #36

Yes. rug Oct 2012 #37

You brought up the subject skepticscott Oct 2012 #40

Well, unsurprisingly, that's bullshit. rug Oct 2012 #45

Again, you brought up the subject skepticscott Oct 2012 #57

Again, bullshit. rug Oct 2012 #64

Ah, so repeating the empty label of "bullshit" skepticscott Oct 2012 #76

I would provide you with facts and logic but I fear the effort would be wasted. rug Oct 2012 #82

Since you're down to that dodge, yet again skepticscott Oct 2012 #84

How much worse can it get? beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #67

No, but bring your waders skepticscott Oct 2012 #71

Done. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #73

By the way skepticscott Oct 2012 #69

No. Pay attention. It was a statement by an entity incompetent to make it. rug Oct 2012 #75

Funny, they seemed to do a very competent job skepticscott Oct 2012 #78

For clarity, it was your post I called melodramatic nonsense. rug Oct 2012 #81

No one is above reproach skepticscott Oct 2012 #54

How about it is disgusting that men would treat women this way? Goblinmonger Oct 2012 #10

Not just women, the RCC's treatment of little boys is even worse. beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #12

You're right Laochtine Oct 2012 #15

And there's always another side... onager Oct 2012 #55

Have I told you lately how much I love you? beam me up scottie Oct 2012 #56

Sure, here's another side you may be happy to endorse. rug Oct 2012 #59

Nothing wrong with hearing both sides. cbayer Oct 2012 #63
