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.]]

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 [[Feminism|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>}}
