Well...many Skeptic Shitlords did make skepticism leave a bad taste in women and POC's mouths. According to these Shitlords, you need a peer-reviewed journal article to treat people with inherent worth and dignity.
There are tribes among skeptics just as there are among all sorts of groups not united by values, yes, but it doesn't break down to 'women' and 'people of colour' who can and do subscribe to a wide variety of values.
I've encountered sexist and racist skeptics and but it was on PZ Myers blog that I got told to fuck myself with a rusty chainsaw and that I was lying about my gender.
I’m sorry to hear that. And you’re right that jerks can be found everywhere. I actually still consider myself a skeptic, but I don’t identify as part of the Skeptic Community because it seems like for every Yvette d’Entremont, there are a hundred Sargon of Akkads
Except the Ugandan Knuckles tribe. They seem alright. They just click their tongues and ask if you know de wae.
