And when it comes to the blatant irrational ideology of extreme radical-feminism, that's a match made in hell. Darn few skeptics are able to shut off their brains on command in order to dogmatically defend feminist ideology, and that's what radical feminism requires. It's no wonder they're having trouble combining two such incompatible mindsets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466285221252594698.post-5511774890696255522012-10-08T12:51:12.005-04:002012-10-08T12:51:12.005-04:00I think feminism+ is a good moniker for their move...I think feminism+ is a good moniker for their movement. A quick look at their forums shows that atheism plays a *very* small role in their discussions.<br /><br />Though I sympathize with the primary motivations of most men's-rights activists (seeking equality for men as well as women), I've always been averse to adopting or promoting a gender-specific rights campaign. I'm for universal rights! Men's rights, women's rights, gay's rights, everybody's rights. The list goes on. Why be exclusionary? That's what this feminism+ thing seems to be primarily, in my eyes.<br /><br />Also, I agree: the primary reason I'm opposed to the 'Atheism+' group is and has always been their active engagement in unethical behaviour. I simply cannot support any group/movement like that, regardless of whether or not I agree with their ideals on paper.Wonderisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14159308813060038586noreply@blogger.com
