Skepchick supporters have a very warped view of sexism, and I'm probably the biggest male feminist I know. Their whole argument is absurd. This is actually making me angry. It seems to me skepchick supporters are the ones treating women as inferior by saying they cannot take a minor sexual advance. If men and women are equal and nonviolence is assumed (which it should be), then there is no problem with his advance.
Everyone is made uncomfortable when they are hit on by someone they find unattractive, but it's not sexual harassment. This whole thing reeks of false feminism. Feminists who want to be seen as equals but have several exceptions where men should be endlessly deferential. It reminds me of a friend of mine who got mad when I used the term "##### (cat) out." Then talked about how my roommate (male) was a "girl" for using a lot of hair products. There's some cognitive dissonance with her and with skepchick and friends.
