The thing she doesn’t get is that if she and Dawkings are right about there being no God, then all she is, is a sexual object that exist to pass on her genes.
Dawkins is at least consistent.

True! Her moral objection is?

ahh, scanning too quickly I thought at first instant that it was Dawkins himself who was making a pass at this woman at 4 am in the hotel elevator! (I was imagining him as a Dominique Strauss-Kahn of academe, which he may or may not be, I have no idea)
It seems from this comment (below) on that blog that all the ire toward Dawkins is because he tried to introduce an element of "perspective" about the blogger's experience being not quite as awful as the plight of women across the Muslim world:
"What set off the big brouhaha amongst atheists and feminists, however, was when Dawkins showed up in the comments of a blog to belittle Watsons complaint by comparing her unpleasant elevator experience to the sufferings of women in the Islamic world. Once the feminists started screaming for blood, Dawkinss fellow atheists were only too happy to throw him under the bus. The reaction was as if Dawkins himself had hit on Watson."
