"Now more than ever, I'm glad that the atheist movement has no formal organized structure or official leadership: it makes it easier to accept that people we consider intellectual giants can have persistent blind spots."

Yes! I'm happy this is written by a man. Because Dawkins might be genius, but he is an asshole. Like many of his kind ("intellectual giants").

"intellectual assholes" has a better ring to it. :D

I've been saying for years that Dawkins and Hitchens are misogynistic dicks, but atheists all condescend, "You just don't understand them." *eyeroll* I understand hate when I hear it.

Atheists won't *all* make condescending remarks like that anymore, Anika, because now at least one, the author of the article, has discovered what you've known for years. (And Hitchens is dead, so you won't get any more misogyny from him.)

Dawkins' opinions on anything are just that - his own. He doesn't speak for all atheists and he doesn't speak for me. Sometimes our opinions agree, sometimes they don't. In this case he is a total jerk.
