Rebecca Watson was the "Anita" of the SJW movement in the Atheist community a little more than 2 years ago - if you belonged to any of the Atheist social circles, /r/atheism especially, then #gamergate is dejavu to the extreme.
So now, 2 years later, they have Atheism+, which is basically SJWs who are also Atheists.
They have their own conferences now after decrying regular ones as sexist, they have their own forums and blogs (FreeThoughtBlogs) because ours were sexist, etc.
And, of course, they were extremely pissed that the "New Atheism" movement was started by 4 white men.
They've even gone as far as to blacklist Ayaan Hirsi Ali as being sexist, a woman who actually WAS the victim of rampant misogyny in Mogandishu and fights for women's right now in Holland - I would highly recommend looking into her, she's awesome.
So yeah, as far as me personally, this lady right here [Watson] is the reason I'm trying to do what I can for #gamergate; I've seen what SJWs can do to movements.
Thankfully, her group cut themselves off like a cancerous tumor and considered us "beneath them". Now, their (headquarters](http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/freethoughtblogs.com) is not even a blip on the Internet while /r/atheism is still going strong.
*ninja edit - and yes, she was calling us a bunch of 14-year-old boys.
*another edit - WTF, I just realized this is in /r/againstatheismplus, you guys know all this shit, lol. Sorry, thought I was recapping for the gaming community. If you're wondering what is going on in the gaming community, watch TheInternetAristocrat on youtube, he's kinda like Atheism's Thunderf00t.
Ironically, Cara Santa Maria was dating Bill Maher when PZ Myers met him. Years later, PZ wrote a hate post about Maher and said the following:
"He also showed up with an extremely attractive young woman who could have been his daughter, or even granddaughter, but was actually his date. She was pleasant to talk to, quite unlike her sugar daddy, and actually bothered to engage the table briefly in light conversation. But you could tell that Maher’s ideal woman was candy to decorate his arm in public. It also illuminates his behavior — the man has a history of sexist remarks. Is it any surprise that he has done it again?"
PZ's description doesn't seem very nice, does it? He doesn't seem like a very strong feminist or crusader for women.
To be fair, he later apologized once people pointed out that he was talking about a living, breathing human being. (Note the British spelling of "apologize.")
"I apologise for the “sugar daddy” comment, which implies that the woman had no say in the relationship. That was not my intent; Bill Maher came off as a sexist pig, but she was actually quite an interesting person. She seemed more intelligent than Maher, that’s for sure."
You'll also note that PZ was recently on Cara Santa Maria's "Talk Nerdy to Me" podcast. As you would expect, paper tiger PZ was a kitten in person.
