Communities Keep Sucking | Clarissa's Blog
Apparently my satire on taking "natural laws" as dogma cannot be understood easily by American atheists. I was really mocking the MRAs, who hold that there are natural laws that women must submit to, in order to fulfill their "natures". But here there is an overlap between USA atheism and MRAs, since both would like to hold that there are "natural" gender differences that must be acknowledged and if need be, reinforced.
Anyway, some militant atheist guy on Facebook was unable to understand whether my video was mocking science or something else. This shows the degree to which there has not been any critique of ideological dogma or of the idea of invoking "natural principles" in the atheist community. In a way it seems that atheists just want to replace the authority of religion with the authority of what they take to be science, including the spurious ideas of much of "evolutionary psychology". They especially hate that feminists question this authority, because then they are left without a dogma and feel threatened.
