Just a Few Loud Voices

3. BOOM

helen.huntingdon: If you are a man and you let another man get away with sexist/harassing behavior unchallenged, you just sent a message to him, his target, and everyone present that you support his choice. We’re not dumb, guys. When you show off how respecting a bigot’s feelings matters more than, you know, not tolerating bigotry, we get the message, and it’s not hard to find better people to hang out with.

And the best yet

killerrobot: The fact that I’ve come across as much and on special occasions, sometimes more, yawn and occasionally stab-inducing sexism and plain old-fashioned misogyny in any atheist/skeptic-specific online community as anywhere else hardly encourages me to place such things on my to-do list either. Apparently far too many people’s skepticism, much like their ‘liberalism’ doesn’t always extend to anything that challenges their ideas about gender.
