Yes, that concerns me too, though we should remember that 95% of those in US
prisons are men. By chemically castrating male babies, as Feminazis have
recommended (doctors already mutilate male genitalia via circumcision, so just
extend the operation a bit further), society could curb crime and perhaps make
the work place less hostile toward females.

No one has suggested compensating boys who had prepucectomies (removal of the
foreskin) against their will. So the practice of removing their testes (probably
not more painful) shortly after birth might not meet with much resistance
either. Or maybe a more politically correct alternative would be to simply
transgender boys sometime before puberty. That would also result in lower crime
rates. If the US were to vanguard such policies, it could soon become common
practice world wide. As for the reproductive side effects, a few hundred men
could provide enough sperm for in vitro fertilization of millions of fetuses.
Better yet, instead of milking a small population of studs for semen, fertility
clinics could simply use cloning, thereby bypassing the need for males
altogether. In short, to eliminate crime, all we need to do is eliminate males
(no "profiling" required).

That fits perfectly with the profile of the US criminal, since 95% of them are
male. Eliminating the defect called masculinity would therefore almost
completely eliminate violent crime.

Absolutely right. We'd need to eliminate males world wide.

PS: Some list members may object to such a plan on the basis that 98% of men
never commit any violent crime. But, hey, better safe than sorry, right girls?

I wonder how many extropes will take this mockery seriously.
