STATS and references are current, the material is varied (but relevant and interesting) and you strike the perfect balance between presenting information on the one hand and being probing and questioning on the other. Oh, and your word count is spot on. Really well done!

Comment on The Atheism Gender Gap by Olenka Cogias

I’m a woman-shaped athiest!

Great article provoking a fascinating debate. I am an athiest myself and was raised to be so. Sadly, the fight against the blinkered ignorance of organised religion has seen the athiest movement take on some of the more disagreeable traits of the morally-superior religious. This can and does include arrogance, aggressive zeal and (as Dan says above) ascribing to a particularly nasty and misogynistic theory of social engineering (also favoured by Goebbels). The problem is that in any organised movement people must be involved and people can be awfully strange and troublesome!

There are many reasons why religion has proved so persistent: it appeals to something universal and primal in human nature. I fear that, until science can do the same (and do we really want another God? Albeit one in a white coat) we are stuck with it.

Comment on Stop The Bitch Wars! by Joanna Patricia Caveney

Mine too. Ironically, for all its feminine sentimentality, for me one of the standout, most empowering moments from Sex and the City is when Charlotte says to the others “Maybe we can be each other’s soulmates”. Getting the approval of men is easy – all it requires is a push up bra and a pencil skirt – but female approval is harder as it invariably about quality. I tend to find that those that recognise their own usually recognise it in others too.

The most empowering moments in my life took place by the sides of other women. . . It’s very sad when I see others trying to bring each other down.

Thanks Olenka. I always find writing article’s about something that really angers you is so much easier.

Breasts invite voyeurism; when they’re used for the purpose they’re made….there’s an outcry…..society has some mixed up values! Annex, good piece.
