Book: Atheism in Five Minutes
Chapter: 43. Do Atheists and Feminists Support Each Other?
Blurb:
The article explores the relationship of selected main atheist thinkers (such as Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, Ayaan Hirsi Ali) to women and feminism, but also introduces feminist atheism in everyday life and in atheist organisations. Some researchers suggest that all feminists should be atheists, and the values atheists appreciate (such as equality) suggest that atheists should support feminism – but the experiences of feminists within atheist circles indicate that they do not.
