As a worldwide social movement, skepticism aims to promote science and critical thinking. However, by analyzing texts published in the magazine of Finnish movement between 1988 2017, we find that carries out its mission way maintains produces gendered hierarchies. We identify six forms boundary-work data: (1) as masculine, (2) questioning women, (3) complementary alternative medicine feminine, (4) debating status gender studies, (5) within (6) supporting equality. Gender is an important...
