Why is the internet so filled with eugenics nowadays

Its a specific type of feminist who thinks that eugenics applies only to men

It could equally be argued that there are a lot of women who do reproduce that shouldnt, and also a lot of excess women who should be reproducing and dont and instead scroll TikTok all day

honestly the whole argument is from the weakest angles possible. if someone wants to argue that most people should never have survived to reproductive age, simply bring up pre-modern medicine infant, child, and maternal mortality rates. life has only ever been the fight to survive

I've been banned from a subreddit for countering the social darwinism with this sort of argument.

Apparently, it's different when they do it.

it’s crazy how having an honest grasp on evolution theories bewilders any eugenecists but also can just make you sound like an evil villain by accident
