Why is atheism divided between feminism and Men's Rights so much?

@David_Killens

You stated there was a gap.

Do you mean that you want me to pull up the articles that stated those numbers?

@David_Killens

@Drew

A gap in identification. A gap between the number of those who identify as feminist, and those who identify as MRA.

Then when pressed on supplying these “numbers”, your response was

@Drew

There’s no specific numbers, unfortunately. Hopefully, an organization with the resources will research it, and through multiple randomly-gathered studies. These are the best that I have so far.

@Drew

I can pull up the articles that stated that 70 to 80% of MRAs identify as atheist, if you would like.

Oh, I think I see what you mean. I guess I’m being confusing.

Here’s what I mean:

While there are not any specific numbers that point to this, there are other numbers that can help us to guess. The reason I say that the 70 to 80% number isn’t fully foolproof is because there are some problems with the study. A randomly gathered population study, rather than one just off of r/MensRights would be better to use than those other ones, but they are a start.

@David_Killens

Opinions are just opinions, trends are also subjective. But when one states “there are numbers”, then we are dealing with hard facts, and those numbers must be provided to support the assertion.

So you want specific, well-researched numbers? Perhaps I can bother some atheist organizations to help me research that. Then at least I can have specific numbers to use.

@David_Killens

Like I said Drew, I bear no ill will. I want you to do well, learn, and feel comfortable in here. But in this band of skeptics, one needs to have their evidence ready to support any assertion. You would have been better served by stating “my opinion is…” instead of stating “the numbers”.

Well, I suppose it’s built off of both opinion and some numbers. I wish there was a specific number I could use that would state how many feminists were atheists, because I could base it off of the number that around 20% of the US (female?) population was feminist, and could get a closer number then?
