"As
to your question why you dont see more athiest women? Its beacuse they
are generally weaker. They dont want to make waves, they dont want to
hurt someones feeling ar risk having their own feelings hurt."

And here it is, as explicit a comment of sexism in our community as I
have ever seen but it is a feeling that runs through the community. I
have seen women are too emotional to be an atheist, not rational, or too
afraid.
This is from one of my facebook friends. He messaged me in he context of a longer message about the reddit discussion.
Why
is it when marketers exaggerate the female in female and the male in
male; the only outrage is pointed at the girls. Just being girlie when
you are marketing to girls should not be labeled sexist.
By
saying that by making science girlie we are being anti-science or
anti-girl means there is an inherent contradiction between the two and
that is highly sexist.
