I, for one, thank the Skepchicks for every cleavage-delivered shot they’ve given out, every hangover suffered, every snappily answered-to remark borne and converted into a teachable moment. It is difficult, dirty, under appreciated work, and someone has to do it.
And next July, when they are doing it, I’ll be there watching.
I bet you were, you dirty, perverted creep.
The real fun comes in the comment section where Greg Laden (with anger issues) gets annoyed at a poster called Becca and lets fly with a choice insult about her being on her period!

Does anyone remember Justin Vacula coming within a mile of that sort of woman-hating invective?
Of course not, but guess who is there in the comment section, backing Greg right to the duodenum.

In other words disagree with Greg and there will be consequences you don't like.
Like a misogynistic insult - get off the rag?
Some champion of feminism is our Steph.
"It isn’t pretty, but the inappropriateness is the point."
I think we can see the point, bright and clear - disagree with Greg and any insult, including the most vile misogynistic insult he can think of, is fine!
How on earth have these hypocritical demagogues reached a position of influence in the American atheist movement? :shock:
