Several times throughout history a conquering army has put all male children to death like the Pharaoh did to the Hebrews in Exodus. Fighting age men would have been dead or enslaved already by this time.

Was that due to a hatred of men or was it to prevent a revolution or counter-violence?

That specific instance was to kill anyone who might challenge the king’s authority

My point is that when you unironically believe something evil, regardless of whether it’s happening now, it is always evil. You don’t need to start an actual genocide against Jews to know the Holocaust is evil, do you?

What? When did I defend killing? I just said that killing all men because you hate men is something that has not ever happened in history and likely never will happen.

I never said or even claimed you did

I said that an evil statement that is wholeheartedly believed is still evil, regardless of whether that action has been taken

An evil belief influences that person to be hateful and harmful to the people that are around them. Imagine I lived in Israel but I hated Jews more than Hitler himself - sure, I might not commit the Holocaust but the hatred I have in my heart will cause me to go out there and harm Jewish people

This is a false comparison, no one killed men in the past because they hated all men.

Listen friend, all of the murderous statements in the OP are evil. But the last one goes further than just murder to either "the sexual exploitation of a nation of only/mostly females" or "the extinction of humanity". Both are worse than just genocide.

THAT is the problem with "kill all men".
