An excerpt from Richarddawkins.net that was is also quoted from a column at Independent.ie:
| “ | So Mary Kenny thinks that there are more atheist men than women, and that this is the result of some sort of attempt at overt manliness on their part. She really must try to pay attention - to Richard Dawkins, for example whom one could hardly describe as being the epitome of machismo."[4][5] | ” |
