It is always about “at least you dont have to have your clitoris cut.” If Atheism is about freedom from religion, which is sexist in every religion, then it should actively work against sexism and not make stupid meaningless statements that does not even acknowledge it. Boys will be boys indeed.

My post was not in response to any of your posts. It was about the OP.

It is still atheists being sexists and unable to deal with it honestly. If atheists are about freedom from religion because it is evil, they should a actively oppose all the evils, not just attack faith, which is the easiest thing to do.

I know. It came dangerously close to an excuse IMO.

Seriously is all I would expect out of another human being is just saying " yeah, that's BS" and move on. I think we need to start paying more attention to whats being said and less to who is saying it. If you dont you might end up like a certain Christian poster saying God would allow children to be raped but never allow a woman to lead.

Saying that a society has a sexist attitude is an excuse?

I'm an atheist who strongly opposes sexism and racism. I also oppose racism and anti semetism. But I not only belong to any atheist organization nor do I have any information about them.

Now please list three specific actions I must take to as good and wonderful as yourself in fighting sexism that does not include fighting sexism within organized religions. Also there is no obligation for atheists to be attacking religion foe the sake of it being religion. I think a woman can be a married lesbian and be a leader of the United Church of Canada.

Also which atheist on this thread has acted sexist or have been unable to deal with sexism honestly. This thread is still short so it is of less effort for you to back your claims than it was to start yet another of your "I hate atheists " threads. So again 3 precise examples of what you expect me to do to fight racism?

It looks like you are attempting to excuse the behavior. Whatever the reason for it is unacceptable.

You could start by calling out CB if she defends it because its someone she agrees with.

More accurately, it is a few people acting inappropriately. The way you said it implies that they represent all atheists, but that is not possible since >99% of atheists do not join atheist organizations,
