There is one long-term nest of abusers that has wormed their way into an alliance with Atheist Ireland, which seems to be in flagrant denial of the fact that the most prolific commenters on their website, the ones who provided them with the distortions that supported Michael Nugent’s very personal and very prolix hatred of me, are actually among the nastier characters in the atheist community. Jadehawk has gone through their various public statements and compiled a pair of storify lists that document how awful they are.
Defending rapists?
Check. Providing a haven for misogynists?
Check.
This is a fun parallel between PZ Myers and his friends, and Creationists.
Creationists play this game where they want all the accolades of someone who is doing scientific research, the respect you get from people from such work, the knowledge you get from such work... without actually doing any work. Frankly, they hate people who actually do science, but they wouldnt mind them so much if scientists would just say and do exactly what Creationists want them to say/do.
Likewise, Myers, Watson, Hensley, etc-- They want all the social benefits of being Someone Who Is Working To Make This World A Better Place... without actually doing anything resembling work towards those supposed goals. PZ Myers *says* he is All About Social Justice! A PLUS! But name one thing that man has done, in the last 3 years, in the last whenever, that moved 'social justice' forward. Does he do drives for feminine products for homeless women? Does he volunteer at a homeless shelter for gay kids kicked out of their homes? Does he run a secular food pantry/meal event so the hungry can get food without proselytization? Does he lead education events in at-risk neighborhoods to tell people how to protect themselves from HIV? Does he run free/low cost summer science programs to expose kids to Real Science? Does he write letters for Amnesty International? Does he play chess several days a week at a retirement home 1) to keep old folks company, 2) keep their brains sharp, and 3) keep an eye on them to make sure *somebody* is taking care of them? Does he do what Nugent does? Does he speak to members of the government in an attempt to make their laws more just?
What, *EXACTLY*, does PZ Myers do, *DO*, for 'social justice'?
The gall of this man, to attack people who *DO* things for social justice, while at the same time wrapping himself in the cloak of 'social justice', demanding respect for doing *NOTHING*.
I am a mother fucking 'female in science', and I fucking kick ass at it. Ive had a mother fucking stalker, who was scary as fuck and would have made Myers piss himself, and I was protected by the law after I went to the cops. Im in a fucking long-term inter-racial relationship, raising two very not white children. I volunteer my time to raise other people money, not get me free trips places and buy mother fucking lipstick at Sephora. And to PZ-Im-a-Feminist-Myers, I am racist slime who hates social justice and supports rapists.
PZ Myers: You, and your friends, are frauds. You are complete, and utter frauds. You might have fooled many people in the past, including myself, but you are now only left with idiots and trolls. I genuinely believe you lack not only the intellectual ability, but the genuine *desire* for social justice, to move beyond what you have now. So enjoy the mockery while it lasts, PZ Myers. Because eventually the trolls will get bored too.
