Dawkins wasn't himself the perpetrator in "Elevatorgate." Rebecca Watson told a story of how she was sexually harassed by a man at a skeptic conference whose identity she did not disclose, and a bunch of shitheads in the skeptic "community" accused her of overreacting, one of whom was Dawkins. Honestly his comment was so fucking evil and unhinged that I think it's worth reproducing here:
cw for misogyny, sexual violence, and islamophobia
Dear Muslima
Stop whining, will you. Yes, yes, I know you had your genitals mutilated with a razor blade, and ... yawn ... .don't tell me yet again, I know you aren't allowed to drive a car, and you can't leave the house without a male relative, and your husband is allowed to beat you, and you'll be stoned to death if you commit adultery. But stop whining, will you. Think of the suffering your poor American sisters have to put up with.
Only this week I heard of one, she calls herself Skep 'chick', and do you know what happened to her? A man in a hotel elevator invited her back to his room for coffee. I am not exaggerating. He really did. He invited her back to his room for coffee. Of course she said no, and of course he didn't lay a finger on her, but even so...
And you, Muslima, think you have misogyny to complain about! For goodness sake grow up, or at least grow a thicker skin.
