      I've woken up to find Twitter divided on whether to gloat over the allegations of sexual misconduct against David Silverman as evidence of the misogyny of atheist organisations or the self-serving sliminess of male SJW feminists. Stop it.

      And it continues. Because, as we all know, whenever anyone is accused of wrongdoing, the important thing is to argue about which tribe you should blame it on.https://twitter.com/LLemonSS/status/985418085510328320?s=19 …

      David Silverman was a feminist? News to me. Leaders of the atheist political movement being discovered as sexual predators (like Krauss) is more the leaning these days. https://twitter.com/TylerPreston20/status/985296723059802113 …

          Replying to @HPluckrose

          Identity is a way to engage in guilt by association tactics: "X did a bad thing. That's bad. But, *who* was X? Oh, X was a Z? Then, all Zs are bad." It's thinking & moral panic at it's most primitive, but worse in these instances, such tactics are used consciously & cynically.

          But isn't there an underlying truth to this? You don't go around virtue signalling about the bleeding obvious unless you're extremely gullible and easily misled or you have a guilty conscience.

          Being an atheist should, you would hope, rule out the former leaving us with the reason for his feminist activism.

          Atheists can and do embrace irrational nonsense are much as anyone else. It’s just that their nonsense doesn’t involve Gods.

          Not if you arrive at your atheism through reason, and are consistent.

          True. Atheism is a consequence of having a rational mindset My point can also be the consequence of other mindsets.

          Humm ... I don’t know Silverman but would be very surprised to learn that he never « searched for the tribe » of catholic priests behaving badly.
