Within the militant [[New Atheism]] movement, there appears to be a significant amount of contention between men and women with complaints from women that there is a significant amount of misogny within the atheist community and its leadership is too heavily populated with men.<ref>http://atheism-analyzed.blogspot.com/2011/07/dawkins-drives-skepchick-into-feminism.html</ref><ref>http://msmagazine.com/blog/blog/2010/11/01/will-new-atheism-make-room-for-women/</ref> This may partly explain why Western atheism is less appealing to Western women (see: [[Atheism appears to be significantly less appealing to women]]). In addition, the significant amount of contention between men and women may apply to Western atheism as a whole. As noted earlier, ''[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]]'' magazine made the observation [[Atheism appears to be significantly less appealing to women|that atheists tend to be quarrelsome, socially challenged men.]]

The Atheism Analyzed blog declares:
This must be an example of being Good Without God.
I am not really familiar with SkepChick, and have not visited that site until now, when the controversy rages around it. Apparently the Atheist penchant for vilifying instead of edifying has extended to its own, as Atheists and Skeptics have attacked SkepChick. That is why the SkepChick is going Feminist.
'So here we are today. I am a feminist, because skeptics and atheists made me one. Every time I mention, however delicately, a possible issue of misogyny or objectification in our community, the response I get shows me that the problem is much worse than I thought, and so I grow angrier. I knew that eventually I would reach a sort of feminist singularity where I would explode and in my place would rise some kind of Captain Planet-type superhero but for feminists. I believe that day has nearly arrived.'<ref>http://atheism-analyzed.blogspot.com/2011/07/dawkins-drives-skepchick-into-feminism.html<ref>}}
Setting aside the fact that boorish and uncouthe atheist males cannot make you become a feminist and it is merely how you react to them, how many women are angry at their ponies? We all know the answer to this question: Zero.
If SkepChick really wants to leave feminism, Conservapedia suggest she leaves atheism and become a Christian. Consider the information directly below.
The ''American Spectator'' declared:
{{cquote|The report estimates about 80,000 new [[Christianity|Christians]] every day, 79,000 new [[Islam|Muslims]] every day, and 300 fewer atheists every day. These atheists are presumably disproportionately represented in the [[Western World|West]], while religion is thriving in the Global South, where [[Charismatic movement|charismatic Christianity]] is exploding."<ref>http://spectator.org/archives/2011/02/28/thriving-christianity</ref>}}
Besides [[Christian apologetics|Christianity having an abundant amount of evidence supporting it]] and the power of God behind it, Christian men are so much nicer that atheists men. Mean, boorish, selfish and insensitive men are help causing atheism to lose 300 people a day, while nice Christian men are co-laboring with God to help cause about 80,000 people a day declare themselves to be Christians.
'''Advice to atheists women:''' Dump atheism like a bad habit and avoid as many of those [[Atheism appears to be significantly less appealing to women|quarrelsome, socially challenged atheist men]] as possible that ''[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]]'' wrote about.
