		<description><![CDATA[Well written, and well done. 
 
A better name for the new movement is &quot;Atheism-PUS&quot;...  because as the self-appointed, delusional white blood cells of our era, it appears Jen McCreight and Co. are in the process of creating, and ultimately inhabiting, a small, pus-filled ZIT on the face of New Atheism.  This unsightly pimple will hopefully soon pop, and vanish, leaving Richard Dawkins (and the sane) in peace, to continue the important fight against the poisonous influence of religion.

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for reading and commenting, and yes, as a couple of you mentioned, feminism and humanism already seem to cover the goals that the A-plus folks seem to have in mind. Maybe I&#039;m cynical, but it seems like creating A-plus (and as you notice, numerous Free Thought Bloggers have hopped on the bandwagon) is just a way to say that their own in-group has actually accomplished something meaningful or different. Again, pie in the sky. (For some reason, I couldn&#039;t use the &quot;plus&quot; symbol in the comment section.) ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My feeling is that the bloggers of the &quot;a+&quot; just do not know much about humanism as a movement. 
 
If they want to go ahead with it, they need to explain how *exactly* it differs from humanism. I can say you this (as a humanist), humanists are very nuanced people, and they generally think carefully about their positions. I recommend this to people who want to invent a similar, yet significantly different, movement. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#039;s no such thing as &quot;reverse&quot; sexism. Sexism is sexism, whether aimed at a woman or a man. Only the die-hard feminists think otherwise, and they&#039;re just as screwed up in the head as the &quot;get in the kitchen and make a sammich&quot; chauvinistic pig. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Excellent post 
 
McCreight et al have a modest following, they are big fish in their small pond. Starting her own movement has gotta be easier route than earning power and influence in Secular Humanism... especially as their gimmick seems to be  tossing platitudes into a radical feminism echo chamber.  ]]></description>
