Hep @Bob74h and all the anti-woke soldiers. A new set of 6 studies just dropped about feminists's attitudes toward men:
It turns out that the mysandry attitude of feminist toward men is a myth:

I mean, if you are gonna ignore a litteral paragraph of description of what negative eugenics practices are and how the comment of Dawkins is reflecting this vision.. go for it mate, I won't stop you. Well.. unless of course this vision becomes institutionnal in the future and creates eugenic policies in which case this will mean war, but we are not there yet :)
Selecting heritable traits can be done by different manners. Forced, positive and negative eugenism.
Nazi germany used all of them : Positive eugenism concerning the "aryan race" where reproduction between people considered "pure" were encouraged to reproduce (in fact a specificity of fascism are the pro-natalist policies) and negative eugenism was used to prevent children with "conditions" from being born. Meaning sterilization of the "impure" but also compaign of abortion of the foetus with potential genetics diseases.
Wether or not down syndrome is genetically heritable or not is not the point. The point is that Dawkins in his comment considered this condition as a disability and not a life worth living the same way eugenics at the time were considering lives with disabilities "not worth living"
So, wether you like it or not, Dawkins's vision was eugenistic. This is one of a reasons why we should be careful with the words of members of the "new atheism" movement and their followers on social medias.
