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.'"

Dawkins, who rose to fame due to books such as "The Selfish Gene" and "The
God Delusion" derided such demands.

"The only possible response is contemptuous ridicule," he told The
Telegraph. "I shall continue to use every one of the prohibited words. I am
a professional user of the English language. It is my native language."

Dawkins went on to say, "I am not going to be told by some teenage version
of Mrs Grundy which words of my native language I may or may not use."
