Again, misogyny is a universal theme, but in some places it is more militant. Am I to apologize for living in a first world country?

Who doesn't?
But my question is what do first world women, especially first world Caucasian women have to deal with?

I'm still waiting for a response from you to the question here,
but I'll suggest that the links that I cite in the OP are sufficient to demonstrate hatred toward women.
"First world"? "Caucasian"? How dare you qualify hatred?

Maybe we're just not going to come to an agreement on this, but as I see it
1) Guy hits on girl in an uncomfortable environment for her
Which... he had no way of knowing. Some women wouldn't care. Some woman may have jumped at the chance to go up to the guy's room. Then there's Rebecca's reaction. Etc.

while she considers it as reducing her in-depth and varied opinions and thoughts to "You are a pretty woman I want to copulate with you".
but that doesn't mean it is insignificant or unimportant.

The OP demonstrates an attitude of hatred towards a caucasian woman in the first world, which negates all of your points. If you don't want to address that, just accept that it exists, whether you agree with it or not. Otherwise, explain how a statement that raping a caucasian woman, who lives in the first world, simply because she is "annoying", does not represent hatred towards her (or what she believes in.)
I don't know, but it seems hard for me to even wrap my head around the idea of an "athiest community."

No, but if you're going to complain about misogyny as though you yourself experience it, then I'd like to see some examples. We all know women are treated poorly in countries like Saudi Arabia. That's a given. But I'm more interested in the misogyny that a white(?) privileged woman like yourself deals with.

See, this is exactly why you are misogynist. You have complained against Caucasian women, which makes you racist as well as misogynist.

Why does it matter? No one asked you about your ethnicity.

By the way, the skeptic or atheist (whatever it is) movement or community (whatever it is) is being torn apart by radical feminists. I'm not actually part of the community, but I do feel sorry for them.

What motivation do the "radical feminists" have to tear that community apart? Do you see the "rape the Skepchicks!" haters as being community building?
