The thing is that the people who make them feel uncomfortable are the Skepchicks. They don't want to be surrounded by stupid, officious women. Nor do they want to be surrounded by women who tell them what they are allowed to do and think. They believe that this is the opposite of skepticism.

I think they're right, but I'm a mere male.
Are they still going?
I thought they'd all be married and settled down by now.
They are married, to other skepchicks, which turns it into a circle jerk of escalating virulence.

It wasn't skepchicks who made me feel unwelcome and uncomfortable just posting to skeptic forums. I didn't even have to leave home.

Perhaps you should have left home from time to time. You might have learnt a sense of humour and how to not take offense at every single little thing. :tea:

You're an ignorant asshole.



I wouldn't go to one of those events, too many liberals.

If women are uncomfortable at skeptic events, it could be their bras.

They could try taking them off, and burning them.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.
