Dawkins: the sometimes feminist

"As for his comment on Muslim women, Dawkins writes: "Muslim women suffer physically from misogyny, their lives are substantially damaged by religiously inspired misogyny. Not just words, real deeds, painful, physical deeds, physical provisions, legally sanctioned demeanings.""  Every week, 23 women are killed by husbands and boyfriends in the US.  Every day, 232 women report that they were raped in the US.  At least, one out of three women in the US is hit or will be hit by a man in her lifetime.  I guess that is not "substantial" damage to Mr. Dawkins.   (thanks Devan)
