Inspired by some of the discussion in this thread. I don't think it's appropriate place for that discussion there, but hey why not have a separate thread for it

If I think religion is not good in general, am I Reddit and cringe and basically Richard Dawkins?

fucking what is elevator gate

"Sex positive" sex pestery among thirsty New Atheist convention goers, and a feeemale daring to state she felt uncomfortable being propositioned in a closed elevator at 4am far from home, lead to Dawkins' notorious "Dear Muslima" letter.

I dare to suspect that the Youtube atheist fad of "debunking" creationists shifted gears to being really mad at feeemales and stayed there, only expanding the rage to SJWs/wokeness/DEI pronouns after that moment.

You'd suspect correctly. There was some base misogyny there to build on, see TheAmazingAtheist and the disgusting things he said about SA including to an actual SA victim.

I don't want to repeat that vile piece of shit's words, but I do remember them clearly.

I didn't realize I remembered them until you said you remembered them and then I also remembered exactly what the words were. Wild how such vile sentiments can embed themselves in your brain like that, isn't it?
