Gavin Martin replied to Belle Rose's discussion 'WHY must we wear a bra?' in the group Women of Think Atheist

Tom Sarbeck commented on Gavin Martin's blog post 'Why are only 25% of Atheist Women?'

"Gavin and all, I see a lot of wisdom in the posts here, though I too am unsure about the biological 'need to be wanted' theory. When I (a straight, white male) reached the age of frustration with how men and women differed socially and…"

"iprefertostayanonnymous, My wife's religion is not a great concern, I am more opinionated and will probably apply more influence in the area of theism/atheism. My daughter will make her own mind up and may change it several times, either way…"

Kairan Nierde commented on Gavin Martin's blog post 'Why are only 25% of Atheist Women?'

"Hrm, I do believe my reputation as a religious, "good girl" may have shielded me from more agressive flirtation in high school. I never really thought it served to protect me but that could be a sign of progress. People…"
