Our history with racism, misogyny, and ableism is evident of that. We were also going to align with Nazi Germany during World War II had it not been for the Hindenburg disaster.
We would've nailed Jesus to a cross had we been the ones that sentenced him to death.

Eugenics is closer to feminism than misogyny.
From the Encyclopedia Welshica:
From the Encyclopedia Welshica:
Feminism and eugenics may seem like strange bedfellows, but there are indeed connections between the two. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, some early feminists, such as Margaret Sanger, believed that women's liberation was tied to controlling their reproductive abilities. Sanger, for example, advocated for birth control as a means of empowering women and preventing "unfit" individuals from reproducing.This logic led some to support eugenics, the practice of selectively breeding humans to improve the species. They believed that by controlling reproduction, women could help create a better society. However, this view has been widely criticized as it often led to forced sterilizations and other human rights abuses.Despite these troubling connections, it's essential to recognize that not all feminists supported eugenics, and the vast majority of modern feminists reject such views. Today, feminism focuses on gender equality and social justice, without promoting any form of human breeding or controlling reproduction.

It’s pretty wild to think that some feminists in the early 1900s actually supported eugenics. One of the most notable figures was Margaret Sanger, who founded Planned Parenthood. She believed in controlling reproduction to improve society, which, in her mind, justified some pretty horrific ideas. Sanger and others thought they were helping the “less fit” populations, but let’s be real—this was just a thinly veiled excuse for racism and classism.It’s infuriating! They claimed to be advocating for women’s rights, yet they backed a movement that ultimately promoted the idea that certain lives simply weren’t worth living. These so-called progressive thinkers ended up pushing policies that marginalized the most vulnerable people in society. And it wasn’t just Sanger; there were others who aligned themselves with the eugenics movement, believing that they could create a “better” society through selective breeding. Like, how arrogant can you get?
Eugenics is just a gross concept that violates basic human rights. The idea that we can decide who should have children or who is “fit” to procreate is not only dehumanizing but has led to some truly horrific practices throughout history, including forced sterilizations and genocides. It’s essential to critically look at these historical figures and their ideas, acknowledging that even those who claimed to be champions of women’s rights were sometimes complicit in promoting oppression in a different form. Feminism should be about empowerment and inclusion, not about playing god with people’s lives.

This literally has nothing to do with eugenics and more about you being upset about a woman who wanted to abort your rape baby. That is if you were even able to rape a woman to have a rape baby. You could just be one of those incel pedophiles mad at women because they don't want to fuck you. Seriously, go fucking kill yourself for this driven.

Why did these feminists choose to talk about genetic fitness rather than bodily autonomy?
Feminism was born out of the eugenics movement and modern feminism dehumanizes disabled men, black men, and short men. Nothing ever changed.

@OPenis
anybody against eugenics is literally evil. "lets keep around hereditary illnesses like alzhemers, diabetes, parkinsons, etc because reasons" "we need to keep negros stupid and overly aggressive so we can have the means of preventing class solidarity"
their also stupid as fuck because abortion and gene editing is a type of eugenics.

Wait, what? This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read about WW2.

Stupid or evil. The concept of eugenics is so obviously good, that it's built right into the word. Usually with these types, they cry about someone curing deafness or degenerative diseases only to then turn around and beg that we try just one more time to create a communist utopia.

In the US, we spend considerable money and manpower to keep corpses alive. Human potted plants and those are the kind cases
Most people would be disgusted and horrified at the conditions of these humans if they weren't hidden away in care homes
Its vile and unnatural and feels like the worst type of medical progress

I remember in the early 2000s how Florida had that controversy with Terri Schiavo. She had been brain dead for years and her husband wanted to pull the plug. Her parents disagreed and claimed she could communicate
They finally did it and religious wackos were trying to break into the hospital to give her sandwiches so she wouldn't starve to death. They didn't understand that she couldn't chew had swallow on her own. Offering a brain dead woman with a feeding tube, sandwiches
When her body finally died, they autopsied her and she had a mass of black goo where her brain had been. All that effort for a living corpse
