In 2014, Harris said that atheist activism lacks an “estrogen vibe” and was “to some degree intrinsically male”.<ref>[http://www.christiantoday.com/article/atheist.writer.sam.harris.faces.backlash.over.estrogen.vibe.comments/40735.htm Atheist writer Sam Harris faces backlash over 'estrogen vibe' comments] by Heather Tomlinson, ''Christianity Today'', September 17, 2014</ref>

The forerunner of the feminist [[Atheism plus]] movement was the online Elevatorgate controversy.
''The Guardian'' wrote about Atheism plus and the reaction of many atheists on the internet:
{{Cquote|In the passionate world of [[American atheism]], the venom usually directed at believers has now been turned against the wrong kind of atheists...
It took 700 years from [[Constantine]] renaming Byzantium in his own honour to papal legates circulating letters of anathema that split the [[Roman Catholicism|Roman]] and [[Orthodox Christianity|Orthodox churches]]. Atheism, in its public, online life, has started exchanging internet anathemas – perhaps we should call them inathemas – in little more than a decade.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/belief/2012/sep/02/american-atheism-schism-spit-venom Is American atheism heading for a schism?] by Peter McGrath, ''The Guardian''</ref>}}
Post Elevatorgate and Atheism plus, the conflict between [[atheist feminism]] and anti-feminism athiests continues. Two of the most anti-feminism atheists are YouTube atheists [[Thunderf00t]] and [[TheAmazingAtheist]].
