Richard Dawkins and AI

I probably wouldn't normally post this here, since it's only tangentially related to women's stuff, but there was a post about Dawkins and his AI earlier and I commented about this YTer and she has made a video specifically about this. Maybe it might interest some people. Feel free to remove it if not on topic enough.

I was about to share this myself!

This is very much, I think, about women's stuff. Dawkins is the person who wrote that execrable "Dear Muslima" open letter specifically to deride Rebecca Watkins for daring to say, at an atheist convention, that <checks notes> being hit upon in an elevator was uncomfortable.

Note: she didn't name the person who did it. She didn't go off on a tantrum about it. She didn't bring down the wrath of social media to dogpile on the person. She just mentioned off-hand that maybe guys shouldn't do that.

And Dawkins went off like a cannon with too large a powder charge, telling on himself in the loudest voice imaginable in the process, exposing the rampant sexism in Atheist (note the cap) circles for all to see.

Yea, ZDL who commented below shared the original article Rebecca Watson is reacting to. I posted a comment in response with a video of Rebecca Watson that goes into detail about what ZDL brought up below too. He's always been this way. Very unfortunate.

Richard Dawkins behavior towards women is absolutely relevant, especially considering his views on trans women. I've been saying for years he's a loud narcissist who, though robust toxic masculinity, found an unfortunate audience of angsty young boys.

That was awesome and I found a few good video suggested with it. Thank you for sharing!
