The outspoken atheist declared, 'I shall continue to use every one of the prohibited words'
Evolutionary biologist and famed atheist author Richard Dawkins blasted woke culture demanding reform within the scientific community.
An organization known as the EBB Language Project was reportedly launched to compile a list of "problematic words" identified by U.S. and Canadian scientists as harmful, suggesting alternate terms to be used instead.
"On Tuesday, academics working in ecology and evolutionary biology called for the avoidance of words such as male, female, man, woman, mother, father, alien, invasive, exotic and race," The U.K.-based Telegraph reported. "Instead, they encouraged the use of terms such as ‘sperm-producing’ or ‘egg producing’ or ‘XY/XX individual’ to avoid ‘emphasizing hetero-normative views.'"

He’s so stupid. He should just shut his mouth and follow the (approved) science.
Great but he’s in his 80s. I am much more concerned about the up and coming generation of Academics.

“The project started as a Twitter conversation among a few people discussing potentially harmful terminology,” says Dr. Gaynor, an author on the paper who studies the impact of human activity on biodiversity.
“We reached out to different networks in ecology and evolution that were focused on increasing inclusion and equity in the field to rally support for one very specific action—revising terminology that might be harmful to certain people, particularly those from groups historically and currently excluded from science.”
“The EEB Language Project will be a living document, as particular words that are harmful and their alternatives can change over time,

Submit your anonymous offending word here. Have fun.
Orwell’s “1984” newspeak.
offending term: homosexual
replacement: pervert
The people that find things “problematic”.
Glad to see.
You don’t have to be religious to rebel against this crap.
If anything, real scientists of any stripe should be telling them the science says unequivocally there are 2 sexes and they do not change.
If these commie bastards cannot see that, I don’t want to hear from them about “science is real”!
Your Replacement: Idiocracy
In 2007, Watson said, "I turned against the left wing because they don't like genetics, because genetics implies that sometimes in life we fail because we have bad genes. They want all failure in life to be due to the evil system."
He ended up selling his Nobel Prize medal to make ends meet.
Real Scientist?
What does that have to do with Dr Dawkins?
Dr Dawkins may have fancy titles and degrees, but he is an ignoramus, not a scientist.
He has written “An adult pig is more human than any fetus”.
Evidently Dr Dawkins never heard of a DNA test.
See, fetuses, they got human DNA. That means theyre human.
Pigs dont. Not even his adult pigs. They got pig DNA.
That means pigs are pigs. 100% pigs. Zero percent human beings.
Thats why when you kill a pig, its okay. You can make him into hot dogs.
But when you kill a person, its murder. No matter what kind of person. A scientist, an ignoramus, or a fetus, it’s murder.
Is he too big to cancel?
Sounds like he’s not willing to board the libtard crazy train

The woke are simply defined as individuals who have found offense in every incident throughout history and by every individual who has ever lived. IOW, the “woke” are psychopaths and sociopaths.
He has made his career making stuff up.
Non-sequitur.
He is correct that there is zero need to refer to them as “sperm donors” or “egg producers” or “XX” rather than man and woman or male and female.
Sometimes even a stopped clock is right.
Simple random chance would indicate that occasionally this idiot can actually be correct. The stopped clock analogy come to mind.
