Carl Benajmin's remarks about Labour Party politician Jess Phillips receiving rape threats
In May 2016, in response to Labour Party politician Jess Phillips' public statement that she commonly receives rape threats, Benjamin said "I wouldn't even rape you” in a YouTube video and which he promoted at his Twitter account.[4] He is unapologetic about his remark to Jess Phillips.[5]
Benjamin contends that that he is unapologetic because Phillips was using her rape threats to pass laws against online bullying that would be designed to be intentionally overly broad to censor views that the government does not like.[6] See also: Atheism and rape
Guest speaker appearance at the Mythcon 2017 atheist conference
See also: Atheist factions and Atheist movement and Decline of the atheist movement
Benjamin was a guest speaker at a September 30, 2017 annual atheist conference held by Mythicist Milwaukee.[7][8]
Feminist/progressive atheists unsuccessfully attempted to get the conference organizers to cancel his appearance.[9]
At Splice Today, Dylan Green wrote about the Mythcon 2017 Conference and the atheist movement: "If there’s a point in time where atheism’s cold war of progressive versus reactionary flavors came into being, it would be the day when Mythcon was held."[10] At Mythcon 2017, Carl Benjamin and other anti-progressive YouTube atheists spoke which upset many progressive atheists.[11][12]
