Not accepting women as equals is NOT COMPATIBLE with democracy. If your believes rule out rights for 50% of the population, you also don't deserve living in one. Physically attacking the female flight attendant shows this isn't something about "beliefs about cross-gender contact", its about seeing women as inferior.

Same tale as with fascism: total tolerance leads to the extinction of tolerance, which means we must be intolerant of people like this disgusting chud.

There must be a mechanism to remove such people from societies where they only inflict damage. Sadly simple removing his citizenship is not legal, but i'd approve of any measured approach to make him realize that living where people regardless of gender have the same rights might come at a cost that is too high to pay.

I tried to make a respond too, but Yours is probably better.

Excellent point. 👍

If he has dual citizenship it is. But IMO it sucks that it has to depend on that.

Or he could just be an entitled asshole. There's no point in making judgements without enough information, and it's not like being entitled justifies punching a flight attendant in the face.

People actively physically harming others aren't "assholes", they are criminals. The combination with his obvious believe in the inferiority of women makes it a fucking hate crime.

Okay? That has nothing to do with anything I said.

Well that's certainly your assumption, but you haven't actually backed it up with anything.

Ok, i'm just gonna tag you as a troll and disengage. Have fun baiting other people who don't value their time.
