Quote:Dawkins thinks we should only accept evidence that is empirically demonstrable. So we should demand repeatable, observable, objective evidence for what we think is true.Ignorance on full display they don't just feel it....
If someone says "I feel it is so." Dawkins thinks that is insufficient to persuade us of anything. Even if they feel it really really strongly -- because even strong feelings about what's true may be wrong.
Our current ideology concerning gender disagrees with Dawkins. What a person feels concerning their own gender is what is true, and there is no biological, empirical, repeatable, observable, objective evidence which can contradict this.
What's interesting to me is the question of when feelings are sufficient to prove something, and when they aren't.

“No matter what men think, abortion is a fact of life. Women have always had them; they always have and they always will. Are they going to have good ones or bad ones? Will the good ones be reserved for the rich, while the poor women go to quacks?”
