I probably wouldn't normally post this here, since it's only tangentially related to women's stuff, but there was a post about Dawkins and his AI earlier and I commented about this YTer and she has made a video specifically about this. Maybe it might interest some people. Feel free to remove it if not on topic enough.

I was about to share this myself!

This is very much, I think, about women's stuff. Dawkins is the person who wrote that execrable "Dear Muslima" open letter specifically to deride Rebecca Watkins for daring to say, at an atheist convention, that <checks notes> being hit upon in an elevator was uncomfortable.

Note: she didn't name the person who did it. She didn't go off on a tantrum about it. She didn't bring down the wrath of social media to dogpile on the person. She just mentioned off-hand that maybe guys shouldn't do that.

And Dawkins went off like a cannon with too large a powder charge, telling on himself in the loudest voice imaginable in the process, exposing the rampant sexism in Atheist (note the cap) circles for all to see.
