I was not aware of this "Dear Muslima" thing, but let's analyze it.
Someone makes a video complaining about being propositioned (I didn't watch the video but read the context). Dawkins, a homosexual who as been around for quite some time, when things were not very pleasant for them, thinks this is really not anything to complain about so he makes this remark comparing the suffering of people under a particular religion. He then apologizes for the comment.
Was the comment unnecessary? Yes.
Was the comment tacky? Yes.
Is it indicative of sexism? I'll say not, given Dawkins' context, his previous statements and also importantly, the fact that he apologized.
- ZeroGravitas 9y agoI'm fairly certain Dawkins isn't gay. He's been married to women three times. And I don't really see how telling people they're not allowed to complain about sexism unless they are the person most affected in the entire world would be made better if he was. It's a logically preposterous claim. If he truly believed it then he'd never have complained about religion, since people in other countries have it much worse than him.
