It's that simple. You can't hide behind reason, atheism, "humanism" or any other form of logic AND fear and speak out against the rights of women. Sorry, this shit perpetrates Rape Culture, blaming victims, men as mindless beasts ruled by their sexual desires, and women only having values as sexualized objects. This Madonna/Whore thing needs to die. IF you want to remove poverty, you lift up and educate women. If you want society to be free, you give women control over their reproductive capabilities and actually treat them as if they have command over their own bodies. If you want a brilliant society, you have to have magnificently brilliant women if only to raise magnificently brilliant children and a better future IF NOT to help take the lead in making the world a better place.
Serious, how the fuck are you threatened if someone else have the same rights, abilities and future as you? Are you that frightened? What are you worried about? What has you so scared? I don't know about you but I can silence women only three ways: Giving them the opportunity to ponder a thought, feeding them, and moving them to strong emotion where words are meaningless or not necessary. I hope, desire, and wish for the same treatment. Even if I differ with anyone, I want to be treated in this way and I appreciate the effort.
And as for the sake of the Atheist community, which this is a call for unification, how can you say that you do not want some sort of intellectual and social oppression and allow any other sort. Fuck you. You have not idea what an atheist is. If you can find solace in any oppression against anyone else, then you are not on my side regardless of what label you want to share with me. Fuck you and everyone who acts like you. I don't need your help.
Lastly, society is changing and it's changing very quickly. So if you do not change with it you will either be dragged along or abandoned. I look forward to telling stories to my grandchildren on day how two men could not hold hands, or women had to wear certain colors and that I was brought to tears when a little girl said, "Girls can be super heroes too!" This shit will end. The only question is that you can choose where you want to stand and how to be remembered as.
Peace and Love, good people. Let's put this shit to the grave and may it rest there regardless of what superstition, irrational fear, or awkward weakness may attempt to haunt us.
Peace and Love.
