look, i will use small words. you took this completely out of context:

Dawkins didn't come out with this remark "right away", there was a heavy discussion going on about the whole Elevator thing and eventually Dawkins wrote his "Dear Muslima" as a comment on PZ's blog. I think it was the second or third "attempt" by Myers to raise awareness and it turned into a full out gender war.…

Allow me to be the first person to stand up for the other side of the equation here. The comment thread below is full of praise for this article and castigation for the "offenders"... so allow at least one point in rebuttal, if you will.
