Richard Dawkins asks: “Can’t we just get back to talking about how awful religion is?”
Rebecca Watson demurs:
Richard Dawkins believes I should be a good girl and just shut up about being sexually objectified because it doesn’t bother him. Thanks, wealthy old heterosexual white man!
Dawkins’ comments during this whole incident are creepily reminiscent of the right-wing meme about how Western feminists are hypocrites for not necessarily supporting invasions of countries in which women are worse off than they are in the Western world.
UPDATE [SL]: Lindsay has more. As does Tracy Clark-Flory.
