Get Your Feminist On...I Do.

I've been fortunate lately to have discovered some good feminist reading. Team Atheist should team up with the women's movement and the GLBT movement. Both have a great history and the New Atheist can learn a thing or two both from their histories and their organizations. Let's get right down to it, folks.

I could be wrong but blackfemlens is the blog of Sikivu Hutchinson. It is that or they just reprint her articles. Hutchinson is the answer to the question often asked, "Where are the female, black atheist.?" She also appears in the Black Agenda Report. Check both out.

I just discovered skeptifem just the other day. I was really impressed with the article Feminist Opposition to Porn v. Religious Opposition To Porn. The difference is that one has concerns about women being abused and the other has concerns about men and sinful thoughts. Guess which is which.

A little while back there was discussion in the mighty atheist blogosphere about the lack of female biblical scholars. Honestly I do not know if this person is a biblical scholar but she is going through the bible and posting about it from the female perspective. This One Shall Be Called Woman tallies the number of times the ladies are mentioned in the bible and under what circumstances (usually mentioned in the way that people talk about cattle and property. sheez). Quite an admirable task and I am admiring.

I was a gonna try and not mention sites that I have talked about before (so don't your feminist panties in a bunch if I have mentioned you before.sorry) but this one is too good. Feministing is a good hub page for everything feminist. If you go to one feminist site, this should be it (but of course you should go to more than that).

Feminist are in the minority as well as atheist, but if we team up, then our numbers will be greater. We have a common opponent in biblical literalism and institutionalized sexism. They claim moral superiority and have hijacked everything that is good and just. And that kind gentle and very good looking readers is what we, together, are going to take back; for the sake of secular society and for the sake of world peace.

Join us.

This is what my feminist six pack looks like. Just so ya know.
