Not an atheist, but I am honest. This entire article is based on a woman coming forward *five*years* after the fact, accusing a renown skeptic to getting her drunk to take advantage of her. There have been several incidents where feminists have played the ‘rape card’ with ZERO evidence, tried to ruin a man’s reputation, then cried when the court of public opinion declined to ruin him and then screamed ‘misogyny!’
This ‘anti-woman’ thing is a fight with feminism vs. atheism because the whiny little girls want to take over the atheist movement and make it part of their PC BS and the larger movement isn’t having it.
Here’s an article written about the incident that tries to do just that, but does hit the salient points.

(There are five parts to the following series, if anyone’s interested. You can find it on thunderfoot’s youtube page. Here’s part one)

As usual, anyone who doesn’t swallow feminism’s dogma is labeled a misogynist and attacked relentlessly.
I’ve got a lot of issues with atheism, but not cooperating with PC feminist ideology is not one of them. (I hate feminism MUCH more than I’m at all concerned about atheism.)
Due process and privacy until actual conviction all the way around. It is far too easy to have destruction by accusation (on both sides of the equation).
Yes - that is the article they are referring to and linked in the first sentence.

Did you read the buzzfeed article you quoted?
Randi; ““His reply,” Randi continued, “is he had a bit too much to drink and he doesn’t remember. I don’t know — I’ve never been drunk in my life. It’s an unfortunate thing … I haven’t seen him doing that. But I get the word from people in the organization that he has to be under better control. If he had gotten violent, I’d have him out of there immediately. I’ve just heard that he misbehaved himself with the women, which I guess is what men do when they are drunk.”
Randi is gay so he probably doesn’t understand the man/woman dynamic.
I’m with Amy on this one, I know a lot of men are jerks that would take advantage of a drunk young woman. The woman being a feminist or not isn’t a factor in that reality.
The article is so ironic because it shows the “enlightened” have exactly the same warts and feuds their despised religious counterparts have.
