re: #56 Jaerik

The eugenics experiments in Germany quite specifically controlled women’s reproductive rights.

It also sterilized men. Sorry, dude. Eugenics uses control of female sexuality in order to attain it’s goals. The purpose of abortion laws and other laws affecting female sexuality stemming from socially conservative religion is control of female sexuality. In one case, it is a means, in the other, it is the ends.

And yeah, of course in any strong hierarchy the hierarchy takes advantage of that and women start getting controlled by those in charge. That’s not actually relevant to what I’m saying.

But there’s nothing in the logic that would preclude a society or religion, in other circumstances, from following the same path but choosing to make male sexuality the object of persecution instead.

Weirdly, I restrict myself to the actual physical world when talking about things.
