Skeptic movements selectively adopt the unscientific errors matching their ideology

Evidence

In recent times, for example, there have been repeated clashes within the skeptic movement with climate change deniers or with people who completely deny social influences on gender roles. The conversely unscientific position of denying biological influences on gender roles, on the other hand, is unsurprisingly rarely encountered in the skeptic scene with its base in the natural sciences. — Holm Gero Hümmler, Ulrike Schiesser, Fact and Prejudice, 196
