So far the meanest thing that has been said about Rebecca Watson is the bit about her being an Insane Clown Posse fan. Although I am sure that was a multi-layered joke.
I only recently found SGU, and had to stop after a few episodes. She's rude, uninteresting, and interrupts the podcast with unrelated comments and insults in an attempt to sound clever. She argues with the actual scientists, (is she even educated?) and when corrected, argues more. This goes against the mantra that skeptics back down when given proof of an error. She makes the whole movement look bad; it's people like her that make me stay distanced from an otherwise great movement.
Any feminist who loves insane clown posse (listen to the lyrics), allows t-shirt companies with degrading, not sexual, but degrading merchandise to advertise on her site, and sells calendars like this has no right to cause the division of elevatorgate and to call Richard Dawkins a hypocrite. I have no more respect for you Rebecca
Feminism =/= anti-porn, anti-sexuality etc. There's nothing hypocritical about a feminist exploiting her own sexuality or that of other willing females. I suspect there are feminist prostitutes, strippers, porn stars etc. There is no conflict with any of them being feminists.
I bet strippers find guys putting money in their g-string creepy. It doesn't make them hypocrites.
If elevator guy creeped her out, why is it wrong for her to say so? She didn't actually accuse him of "sexualizing" her.
@drunkdeaddude Hopefully this will help to explain the whooshing noises you've been hearing above your head lately: She did actually accuse him of sexualizing her.
Wow. Hadn't heard that claim. WTF? Your argument is stating your case?
When she used that word, it was in the context of explaining that the guy should have known that she would be uncomfortable. She was describing the nature of the speech he had just heard. Furthermore, "in that manner" is ambiguous. I could swing a bat at the air and speak of hitting a ball "in that manner", and not be claiming to have hit a ball. From the context of her statement: no accusation made.
@drunkdeaddude You could swing a bat in the air and speak of hitting a ball, or, to keep your pointless analogy consistent, you could hit a ball for real. So, there you are, hitting this ball, and the ball complains, “Don't hit me like that”. Then, someone (from the crowd, or maybe the hot dog guy—it doesn't matter) pipes up with, “the ball never accused you of hitting it because you don't have an argument and “like that” is ambiguous and the game has gone into overtime and..."
@drunkdeaddude How can you not remember? Check the original video. She only talks about this whole thing for a few seconds. It's not buried anywhere. Yes, she talks about being "sexualized." No, it's not a fictional argument. Are you really so desperate to say "Well, I don't remember, therefore you don't have an argument."? Wow...Pathetic. Where is your honor?
@drunkdeaddude She actually said, in reference to the elevator man, "...it creeps me out and makes me uncomfortable when men sexualize me in that manner." The 'manner' she is referring to is the 'manner' in which she was approached by the elevator man. She explicitly used the term 'sexualize'. She did actually accuse him of sexualizing her, explicitly.
Definitely appropriate for this "chick" and her entitled mentality. Someone asks you for coffee and you pitch a fit about being objectified, but then looking at your channel we find this?
"You can jack off to me, but don't you dare ever express interest in me, you creepy, uncaring, objectifying pig!" Oh hypocrisy. BTW, not being an anti-sex feminist in all but name, I don't find anything wrong at all with this video, I just can't stand hypocrisy.
But a guy telling you he finds you INTERESTING, and asking you to have coffee with him is "sexualizing" "objectifying" and "opressing"?
I am a woman and I happen to be an atheist and I believe in equality, not just equality of gender but equality for human kind, and I'd slap you if you were in front of me right now after watching this video.
You can't complain about being sexualized when you openly sexualize your self, and promote sexualization of others. I hope you're close to your non skeptical rad fem friends, because I think your skeptical atheist 15 minutes of hogged fame has earned you a crash and burn.
Good luck, maybe you can write for the guardian now.
Is this thew Calendar where Rebecca Watson SEXUALIZES HERSELF, and pimps out other women as well to make a buck off their naked bodies? Is this the Same Rebecca Watson who feels that it is improper to sexualize a woman by politely asking her to coffee, but gets all moist herself when she sexualizes herself and any other woman she can use to make a buck off of?
If it is then this Rebecca Watson appears to be a hypocritical Prick!
@aoakampfer Sadly true. Rebecca helped create this environment where woman would be treated that way at the conferences. And, then she started a campaign to decry women being "sexualized." It's not sexist to find her behavior atrocious. It's no different than finding hypocritical behavior by religious preachers unsettling.
One day when science can edit genes to the point we can change our appearance though some form of controlled expression I shall say we are "Sexy by science" in the mean time, it's nice to see some smart women who have some bodies that would make Darwin smile :3
How lame, we females have to strip off our clothes to be taken , um, seriously in the skeptic community. Good job, skepchicks! It works, doesn't it. Show us your tits!! Yeah!!

Any word on whether there will be 2008 skepchick and skepdude calendars? I got hooked on SGU over the summer, so I figured it wasn't worth getting a new calendar for a year that was half-way done (now I wish I had anyway, lol) but I'd definitely get a 2008 skepdude!
And by 'mean' I mean 'hilarious and awesome'.

its like they don't understand that "coffee" is code for "dry anal rape".
just look at the dry anal rape in elevator statistics in western society.
"would you like to come up to my room for some dry anal rape?"
see, it really is an issue, you pig.
also, anyone who uses reason to figure things out hates women.
its good that we smoked you misogynistic dry anal rape apologists(MDARA) out.
