One would think Atheists would be among the first to abandon sexist ideas, since sexist ideas came from religion, but sadly, from Dawkins doing sexists rants:

to male atheists treating female atheists like crap:

It seems like many atheists are simply "ok, we know we cannot exploit religion to be the privileged white guys anymore, so we will just demand it by being privileged white guys."
