Lindsay was not "attacking", "hectoring", engaging in "polemics" etc. etc. let alone "insulting" or "alienating" - that is strictly your overheated imagination, and that of your fellow hypersensitive bullying feminists. Your patronizing attitude towards women, depicting them as eternal helpless victims incapable of handling diversity and discussion of ideas, is noted - as is your rudeness and arrogance in coming to my blog and making mindless knee-jerk accusations that I am "sexist and misogynist". For someone who insists on politeness, you obviously have no clue what it means.<br /><br />And speaking of politeness, what do you call it when a speaker attacks the head of the organization that invited her - i.e. the guy who pays her speaker's fee - as an "old white guy"? I'm sure you don't even see the irony that Watson's response to the mantra "shut up and listen" was "shut up and listen".Schrödinger's Therapisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00769628156129662100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130019916328748698.post-69461945866132943162013-06-10T03:14:49.393-07:002013-06-10T03:14:49.393-07:00The lack of context is entirely yours.

Lindsay's speech was a polemic against a strawman interpretation of feminism which no one in atheism + or of FtB has ever advocated or espoused. Further Lindsay went on to use conference time to retreat to his personal blog and attack a participating speaker. This is not behavior a CEO should engage in.<br />Also there is no agenda for feminism to "hijack" atheism. You are free to be as sexist and misogynist as you want and still call yourself an atheist, just don't bring that behaviour into shared spaces like conferences if it results in women being alienated and insulted. That's not supression of free speech, it's just being polite.Steve Bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243178223616240845noreply@blogger.com
