Your Unpopular opinions.

The scientific and utilitarian results of chemical castration aside, I think that if the prison system has truly reformed them, and society has accepted their penance for their heinous crimes, then they should be treated the same as any other normal citizen. If we were to treat ex-criminals with the expectation that they will re-commit their crimes, then certainly either (or both) of the two conclusions should be reached: 1) our rehabilitative services are not effective, and 2) their penance was not enough.

Furthermore, I don't believe that an ex-convict can ever feel that he can reintegrate into society as an equal, if society treats him with such suspicion by imposing such an imperious measure on him.

then your two stated conclusions should be reached, here is one such article as an example:

Then more efforts need to be put in to stop them from reoffending, but not go as far as to chemically castrate them.

It's like saying, if someone steals we should chop off his hands, because there is a high chance he will reoffend.

I'm interested in the thought process behind this one

but hands are used for everything and are needed in everyday life, whereas genitalia is primarily for sex, i doubt reoffenders could control their sexual urges to the point where they wouldn't be aroused by children, and it's not just the actual act of offending, there's layers to this, people actively seek out and pay for videos/images of children being abused and as long as the market exists, children will suffer. so even if they aren't actually out there raping children, they will be contributing to it in a different way (in this case staying at home and getting their rocks off to material sourced online) so as long as the temptation exists i doubt they'd be able to stop.

but i see your point, i didn't mean to say it flippantly, i have considered how it would have serious repercussions for their entire life. how about castration only for those who want it so they never reoffend, rather than it being enforced or for those who have reoffended upon being released so they blew their second chance.

let's agree to disagree eh, (p.s it wouldn't be the first punishment no questions asked, but in the failure of rehabilitation, even though it may be at the cost of their "human right" to enjoy sexual activity etc. i'd rather this right be taken away from them, than to cause such pain to innocents)

9/11 was an inside job... I'm not some crazy conspiracy theorist

OITNB is overrated

I actually don't mind some of One Direction's songs.
Oh and I think intersectional feminism is AWESOME.
Come at me bros.

The patriarchy doesn't exist and women aren't oppressed in our society.I

Unpopular opinion: I hate all types of feminism equally.


Shhhhhh, how dare you deny the patriarchy!
