| | + | {{Cquote|Drawing upon semi-structured interviews with 10 self-identified atheist men in the |
| | + | American Midwest, this qualitative study explored their perspectives regarding atheism, gender, and |
| | + | feminism. The data was analyzed using consensual qualitative research methodology (Hill, Thompson, |
| | + | & Williams, 1997). Results indicated these men had a proclivity for freethought—a commitment to |
| | + | questioning things and prioritizing reason over all else. They believed gender differences were |
| | + | primarily due to cultural and social influence in society. Gender inequality was highlighted as a |
| | + | problem within the U.S. and throughout the world, however this belief did not necessarily lead to being |
| | + | feminist-identified. There appeared to be a pathway linking their intellectual orientation, atheism, and |
| | + | belief in gender equality.<ref> by Rebecca D. Stinson, The University of Iowa; Kathleen M. Goodman |
