Come on. A lot of men being shitty doesn't justify violating the privacy of every man you're interested in. If you made this argument about ethnic or religious groups with higher-than-average crime rates, you'd rightly be panned for it. I'm a woman and I think this is awful.

In addition to the issues others have pointed out, reddit was like this back in the day too. It's not that weird, even if it is true.

Yes, plus the tabby variants of those (i.e. tabby with orange splotches, tabby-and-white with orange splotches).

That is also wrong.

The major difference is the feelings involved. It's very hard to describe how romantic affection feels different from platonic affection, but it does.

Honestly? Nothing except a lot of pointless suffering. Eugenics isn't just immoral; it literally does not work. The nazis did their damnedest to kill all people with schizophrenia during the Holocaust. Schizophrenia numbers were back up to normal within a couple decades.

See this video (linked to the correct timestamp) for more on why eugenics doesn't actually do anything.

Both are unjustifiable. Governments should never get to decide who's allowed to reproduce.

OP, you're a nazi. I would advise you to [redacted because I'm not sure how much disgust I can express before I risk being banned].

"I have too much to do, so I'm going to take a nap." Galaxy brain logic there, self.

I don't know why you're so willing to die on the hill of invalidating others' relationships.

Right, but there are degrees of abusable. There's a difference between "yes, you could abuse this thing" and "this thing will inevitably be abused." In my opinion, hate speech laws fall into the latter category. I know of too many cases of them being abused... and worse, they don't even seem to do much to prevent hatred. See this article.

Say what you like, but I just can't think of any way to write hate speech laws that isn't incredibly abusable. Handing the government an excuse to punish to people is inherently dangerous. While it's certainly necessary in some instances, I think we should be very, very careful about adding to the list of things you can get thrown in prison for.
