All the bashing of Rebecca Watson (Skepchick) is making me sick

http://www.freeratio.org/showthread.php?t=320779

She makes fun of Evo-Psych BS and she gets called a "Radical Feminist" with an anti-science Leftist agenda.

I can hardly visit that site anymore without drowning in Global Warming Denialist BS, and now this?

Try posting to Pharygula and let P Z Myers' hordes have some fun, although any of the mocking/monitoring sites would do.

It's not nearly as bad on DU3 as it was on DU2 (I'll give some credit to DU3, it DID purge a lot of the kooky konspiracy nuts), but there are still quite a few anti-science leftists who haunt it.

I have never been to the Health group, basically because I smoke and drink and eat all the wrong things----I don't want to hear about it. But I can almost guess some of the things you speak of.....tons of herbal "cures" that have no evidence that they work, but hell, they are "ancient Chinese remedies". I always loved that one. So is tiger penis and rhino horn. I can't take it seriously without proof.

And what they're doing to her proves my point about how women who step out of conformity and predictability are treated.
