Conservative views? (Score: 4, Insightful)

It's hard for me to see how these views could be described as "conservative," unless you predefine that term to mean "sexist and/or generally distasteful." In any case, it seems clear to me that he was banned not for his views, but his socially poisonous rhetoric. There's a pretty clear line between "feminism is ultimately a bad thing" and "I hate you all, your group is terrible, and women are worthless scum, and by the way you're all also probably whores." The first might be described as a "conservative view"; the second is poisonous to all useful discourse (not to mention bad and wrong, but that's opinion). If this nastiness affected his code, then as someone who could reasonably be described as "conservative" on some issues, I have no problem with it being excluded. Maybe a cleansed fork would be possible.

Once upon a time men were allowed to marry female children.
Then a liberal group, feminists, had that outlawed.
This occurred from the late 1800s till the early 2000s, by then
it was complete the world over.

The first position was conservative.
The second, newer position, was and is liberal.

Once upon a time? It still happens today. Some countries have specific laws and protocols to prevent minors from being forced to marry overseas then returned home afterward "legally" married

Are they really so bad that the only solution is death? I propose a better solution: let them rant and rave, take onboard the good that they have to offer, ignore the bad, and let us all get on with Life.
