Unbelievably unfair reading of Ken's post. And ironic too, since Carrier's own account of his lifestyle strongly implies that he doesn't have a high regard for women himself.

Richard Carrier responds to his critics on "theyetiroars" blog, which called him 'a creepy dishonest hypocrite': theyetisroar.wordpress.com/2015/02/23/dr-richard-carrier-phd-a-creepy-dishonest-hypocrite/I agree with apologianick's point in the comments on that blog, where he notes that, though Carrier has written that his wife's Jen's private life is off-limits, he has given permission for his lovers to discuss their affairs -- past, present and future. As apologianick writes, "In other words, Jen can read all about the numerous sexual exploits of a man who abandoned her (In essence saying, you’re not enough for me) and ran off with other women after she helped him achieve the status to get those other women." And I loved shermatron's linking to a Bayesian analysis of the risks for veneral disease for those sexually active.

And as if that's not enough, Carrier explains he was working the whole time; he was a homemaker as well as being financial equity.
Interesting that homemaking is valued so highly when Carrier does it, and regarded contemptuously when women choose it for themselves.

It sounds like the meetings he goes to are a lot of fun. If you're into that kind of thing. Have you seen the people who go to atheist and sceptic meetings and conventions? Imagine a "sex party" that includes Carrier, PZ Myers and James Randi. Actually don't imagine that: you may damage yourselves psychologically. It's at moments like this I wish I had some artistic ability. I can imagine a cartoon entitled "Richard Carrier's Ultimate Orgy" depicting a delighted Carrier entering a room full of naked, writhing bodies where everyone else is ... Richard Carrier.

Have you seen the erotic art photo, depicting a semi-nude Carrier, that Carrier posted on his blog? (Image can be found here) Carrier has posted a pic of himself, wrapped only in a towel, holding a spear. That goes part way there!

For crying out loud, can somebody buy that guy some decent underwear? He should have worn Speedos under that loincloth if he didn't intend to make a weapon of mass disgustingness.

Without wanting to spoil anyone's fun, I do feel we might have explored this topic as far as we profitably can.
Perhaps it is time to leave Dr Carrier to his own devices.
Best wishes
James

If I could sneakily get one more request in:
Don, could you please remove the image tags from that Carrier picture?

I wasn't sure how to shrink the image, so I've removed the image insert and just left a link to Carrier's blog post where he displays the image.
