I have been on the sidelines looking at this and have frankly been a little baffled by any ability to differenciate between Athiest , Agnostic or Christian when it comes to the mistreatment of women. It seems to happen all over . Why would one be surprised at it happening in a circle of Athiests over anywhere else? It's one of those things that has more to do with character than belief system. We can legislate against it and enforce the rule breakers but it seems to be a percentage of the population no matter what you do. Do unto others as you would have them do to you fits all sizes and sexes.

Some systems seem to devalue people more than others. Still this behavior doesn't need to be taught. It is inherent in some people.I think it can be encouraged or discouraged but it seems to be inherent or more easily brought out in some people over others.

Here is my view of the Atheist community as a stranger looking in.....before I comment you must realize that I am probably biased based on my own views which were formed from actual real life experiences.

As a general rule they seem to be the most unhappy people I have ever met barr none. Quick to argue over just about anything at anytime,mean spirited. Haughty and know-it- all in approach.Not sure why, but the very most unhappy and argumentive ones seem to be from the UK( Ok you can cock your guns now I'm running). Just my observations.

There are a few....I like Mike. He seems to be a really nice guy. I know a few others. So this isn't across the board. Maybe someone else would care to comment. Have your observations been anything similar?

As far as this subject discussed here. I think it is a prime example of what happens when you throw a bunch of Atheists in a bag together. All women deserve fair treatment I think we all agree on that. No matter where they are.
