Skeptics Guide was my intro into critical thinking podcasts and really got me going on rationality in general. I've avoided getting into the details but given how much this entire situation has blown up I can't help but finally dig in. I have to say, and I really have zero concern for which box people might try to force me into, I've been disappointed in the arguments coming from the camp raising major concerns about misogyny/privileged atheists. In these debates, saying something like that would immediately be twisted into accusing one of being a misogyny apologist and doing that is very poor argumentation.
