Prominent secularist & scientist as well as inventor of the word "meme"!

It's worrying, though, that he's recommending Deborah Soh's book. It's very badly written, full of sex stereotyping & false claims.

Yeah, he’s always been a bit of a misogynist, so that’s probably why it appeals to him.

However qualified he may be as a scientist, Dawkins has always been an insufferable idiot and outrage peddler when it comes to social issues and philosophy. I’ve always been embarrassed to share atheism with the likes of him, and likewise I’m embarrassed to share GC views with the likes of him.

We need better spokespeople. I wish Dawkins would just stay in his lane.

I could have sworn he said something earlier in support of gender ideology. I could very well be wrong.

Eh, probably. Like I said, he’s an idiot when it comes to social issues.
