I'm an atheist and woman. I think Dawkins is a cool guy but also heard from somewhere he is a sexiest? is this true? Can you dive deeper into the idea that atheism has a lot of sexism, I haven't been hearing about this until recently and being a feminist i definitively want to hear your awesome opinion!

Yeah, Dawkins has said some shitty things about women before. There’s tons of material about it online if you type “Dawkins sexist” into Google. He’s also anti-choice and extremely anti-Muslim (I mean, I guess that comes with the territory of being an outspoken atheist, but some of the things he has said about Muslims in particular are unbelievably offensive).

For the record, I believe it’s possible and allowable to enjoy the work of people who’ve done or said problematic things (hell, I am a huge fan of Dan Savage and he’s done a lot of things that offend people) as long as you recognize why they’ve offended others and you don’t try to belittle/invalidate others’ feelings about them. So don’t feel like you have to be anti-Dawkins because of this. Just be anti-Dawkins’-shitty-comments.
