Conversation with #GamerGate

Posted on October 13, 2014 by Nathan Hevenstone

So I entered the #GamerGate conversation, and was actually pleasantly surprised by the response! Sadly, I’m unable to embed the Storify here because this is a free, hosted blog (which is kinda bullshit). If anyone knows how I can embed … Continue reading →

@RichardDawkins… We Are Not Allies

Posted on September 21, 2014 by Nathan Hevenstone

This was first posted here on December 18, 2013. I’m reposting it, with a few small additions. I was 21 when I first realized I was an atheist, and the same age when I told my mom and brother. I … Continue reading →

On “Incel” (Shy Boys: IRL)

Posted on March 15, 2014 by Nathan Hevenstone

Incel. There are a lot of guys out there for who this term, which is short for “involuntarily celibate”, is a nightmare situation. I’ve already elucidated on this in the past, but it does describe me. Yet I shy away… … Continue reading →

Why?

Posted on November 7, 2013 by Nathan Hevenstone

Again… I’m going to be a fascist, censoring dictator on this post. Be damn well careful how you comment. I don’t even want debate on it. Is that that clear? No? Then I’ll just ban you. Also, trigger warning for … Continue reading →

@karenstollznow: “I’m Sick of Talking About Sexual Harassment”

Posted on August 12, 2013 by Nathan Hevenstone

Remember this post, originally at Scientific American? Apparently, CFI (the organization that was NOT named by Karen, but by others), contacted Scientific American, and SA took it down. This is what CFI has to say about it: CFI did not … Continue reading →

Atheism’s Misogyny Problem

Posted on August 8, 2013 by Nathan Hevenstone

Holy. This has left me numb. I can’t even muster up any anger at this point. I’m just… numb. This has to go back to at least Elevatorgate, but probably earlier. What is coming out, now, however, is that major … Continue reading →

Atheism and Social Justice

Posted on June 22, 2013 by Nathan Hevenstone

I’m an atheist. I’m an atheist because the idea of a higher power seems, to me, absurd on the face of it. I find it downright impossible to believe in something like that. There are a myriad number of reasons … Continue reading →

Posted on June 22, 2013 by Nathan Hevenstone

All right… So… I’m a pretty big fan of Laci Green. I’ve been watching her videos since she was ranting about religion back on gogreen18 (and I will admit it… I wish she’d do a few more of those because … Continue reading →

Vanity Tips From a Self-Proclaimed Feminist

Posted on June 11, 2013 by Nathan Hevenstone

Hey dudes! Are you an ally of feminists? Do you try, on a daily basis, to be one of the good guys, to bite your tongue whenever you feel a gendered slur about to make it’s way out of your … Continue reading →

From Nice Guy™ to Feminist – My Rather Unremarkable Journey

Posted on May 21, 2013 by Nathan Hevenstone

This is one of the hardest posts for me to put up. I’ve been waffling over it for months; came close to deleting it a couple of times, in fact. I did so because it includes some rather personal information … Continue reading →
