        @jeffhmn @sapinker @CHSommers Fallacious appeal to worse problems. You can care about gender issues and the environment simultaneously.

        @saint_91 @sapinker @CHSommers There's limited political capital. You can only move people so far so fast. It only makes sense to prioritize

        @jeffhmn @sapinker By appealing to worse problems, you're deflecting from other concerns. And in the end, this hinders green activism too.

        @sapinker @RichardDawkins I think there's sexism but these days it's largely due to unconscious bias, not systematic marginalizing of women.

        @sapinker @RichardDawkins She's wonderful, isn't she? I wish the skeptics community would invite her to give speeches + write articles.
