20. he's still a misogynist

He's nothing of the kind. He does not hate women or think they are inferior.


And per your example....

Why SHOULD the author have to put up with a feminist and LBGT bunch that is oversensitive? And don't pretend like that never happens. (does admitting it happens make me a gay bashing misogynist?)

Of course the MGTOW and MRA stuff is just as creepy as oversensitive Feminists. How is this MGTOW guy representative of the atheist community? What does MRA have to do with Dawkins or atheism?

This current meme of the overt sexist pig quotient in the atheist community is a direct result of these ridiculous accusations based on a few comments and NOT of the vast majority of atheists' (and especially Dawkins') words and actions. How many of his accusers have read any of his dozen or so books..... or even "The God Delusion"...the only book religionists think he wrote? Hint: they aren't ripe with misogyny.
