...you persist in presenting these anti-feminist caricatures as reasonable. You say you are a feminist, and even find feminism an undeniable virtue, but at the same time you parrot absurd anti-feminist remarks.<ref>[http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2014/09/12/dear-richard-dawkins/ Dear Richard Dawkins] by PZ Myers at Pharyngula blog, September 12, 2014</ref>}}

In 1984, Dawkins divorced his wife of 17 years, Marian Stamp; later that same year, he married [[Eve Barham]]. Dawkins also divorced Barham, though the precise circumstances of this divorce are unclear.<ref>http://www.richarddawkins.com/</ref> He married science fiction actress Lalla Ward in 1992 and they separated after 24 years of marriage.<ref>[https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/dawkins-evolves-into-single-man-after-amicable-split-with-time-lady-sp9llk2nt Dawkins evolves into single man after ‘amicable’ split with Time Lady], ''The Sunday Times''</ref>
Theodore Beale wrote in the his book ''The Irrational Atheist'' about Dawkins's claim that teaching children about [[Hell]] is more harmful to children than "mild child abuse":
{{Cquote|Richard Dawkins is perhaps one of the last men on Earth who should be discussing what is the right and proper way to raise children, given that the number of his wives outnumber his offspring.
In his letter to [[Juliet Emma Dawkins|his daughter Juliet]], addressed to her at the age of ten and published in ''A Devil’s Chaplain'', there is little mention of love, no admission of regret, and no paternal promises. As one British journalist noted, the letter is “coldly impersonal” and “authoritarian.” There is no expression of interest in what might be important to her.<ref>[http://www.voxday.net/mart/TIA_free.pdf The Irrational Atheist.

''The Independent'' wrote concerning Dawkins' relationship to his ex-wife Eve Barham: "His second marriage, to Eve Barham, ended in bitterness which persists to this day. He asked one recent interviewer not even to mention her name. 'Can't you just call her the mother of my daughter?'".<ref>[https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/anatomy-of-a-selfish-genius-1178659.html Anatomy of a selfish genius], The Independent</ref>
The ''Christian Times'' reported:
{{Cquote|The 75-year-old evolutionary biologist, who suffered a stroke early this year, had stirred the public years ago when he denounced monogamy and fidelity in relationships.
In [http://www.faithstreet.com/onfaith/2007/11/29/banishing-the-greeneyed-monste/3484 his article piece] "Banishing the Green Eyed Monster," Dawkins referred to "jealousy" in a relationship as "immoral and selfish."
He defended that men should be allowed to keep mistresses and indulge in sexual pleasures with others.<ref>[http://christiantimes.com/article/atheist-richard-dawkins-divorces-third-wife-actress-lalla-ward/59223.htm Richard Dawkins to divorce third wife: Prominent atheist to split from actress Lalla Ward], ''Christian Times''</ref>}}
