douchebags, please and thank you. I see the jerks on the "other side" harassing Rhys and Amy and PZ and Rebecca (and you) and I do NOT want them claiming to represent me. They're not 'future leaders' (as one d-bag is called) of anything I'll be part of. Awesome post, Jen. For a long time, your blog has opened my eyes to the fact that misogyny is, sadly, alive and well, even among atheists and skeptics. I've called myself an atheist for many years, but I didn't start thinking of myself as a feminist until I started reading your blog (and I'm a guy!) Jennifer, what you're describing is a greater movement of secular humanism. Not atheism. Atheism is simply lack of god-belief, and muddling words to have atheism be anything more than just that, clouds & tarnishes the greater movement that you're actually describing. A+ denotes lack of god-belief that is the result of critical thinking and skeptical inquiry. Critical thinking and skeptical inquiry, applied to questions of social inequality, lead inevitably to recognition of privilege and the need to fix inequality. Of course there are people who are atheists because nobody ever taught them about gods, or because all their friends are atheists and it seems cool. But they're hardly going to be organizing any sustained campaigns for social change, are they? Personally, I believe in A+, progressive skepticism, or whatever you want to call it, because I passionately believe that EVERY person should be taught critical thinking
