Reply To: Is there any correlation between Atheism and gender?
The founder of American Atheists was a woman, Madalyn Murray O’Hair.
In this society, women are held to a different standard than men — that is unfortunate. There are probably more derogatory words used to describe strong or outspoken women than for any other group. Those words have one use, and one use only: to attempt to get women to retreat instead of standing up for themselves, lest they be labeled a “bitch,” “whore,” “ho,” and others. The last two are especially egregious, and are aimed, and used at the expense of, the most desperate and disadvantaged women in our society.
