@rezaaslan @AmandaMarcotte So you got called a cunt by someone on Twitter and you think it's misogynistic? Are you female?

@OmegaZetas @AmandaMarcotte ...and my point is proven by this guy.

@rezaaslan @AmandaMarcotte Right. You do realize that "cunt" is a very common insult in the English language right?

@OmegaZetas @rezaaslan Is it? I've gone whole weeks...MONTHS even without hearing that word. You have scientifically measured data on this?

@TheeInitiative @rezaaslan Spend three hours in a London pub and count how many times you hear it. Rarely directed toward women by the way

@OmegaZetas @rezaaslan Are you suggesting London pub is accurate representation of study for the commonality of cunt on a global basis?

@TheeInitiative @rezaaslan I'm suggesting it's far more commonly used by non-misogynists than you clearly are giving credit for

@rezaaslan the major problem is trying to define atheism as a movement. It is not. Unless you count Dawkins fans as a movement (ew)

@idle_flim_flam @rezaaslan atheism does have conferences, events, and prominent figures (Dawkins) that people idolize. There is a community

@MatthewFacciani @rezaaslan a lack of belief in something is not the same as a set of rules to belong. Nobody can call my atheism 'wrong'

@idle_flim_flam @rezaaslan right, atheism doesn't have rules. But it does have a community of people who generally support certain ideals.

@MatthewFacciani @rezaaslan there is a difference between being an atheist and anti-religion. Same way I'm straight and not homophobic
