You're only assuming they're more upset about wording than violent actions.

A group of teenagers acting anti-socially in the space of a few blocks is not at all comparable to a racially segregated neighborhood built on systemic injustice. If you think that ghetto doesn't have racist connotations then I have a hard time believing that you understand what the word means.

Hahaha, that's a really strange, absolutist statement. People make those decisions all the time without even realizing it. Painting them all as bad parents is really ignorant.
And, all else being equal, why does it matter if that's a factor? Do you assume that women are less qualified or that they'd choose a doctor who wasn't qualified just because of their gender? Also, you think the mother should be uncomfortable whenever she takes the child to the appointments? Why wouldn't parental comfort with a physician be a factor in choosing?

Why do you assume that not going to a male doctor would cause fear of male doctors? By your logic, wouldn't the child also develop a fear of female doctors if she didn't go to a female doctor?

I have no earthly idea why someone would downvote you for this.

0-10% I usually make my determination based on a number of factors like if a restaurant is short staffed or they got my order really quick.

and 3. At least 20% I'm not totally sure why I would tip a driver less than a server. I've always tipped the same.
BONUS: If someone else pays for my meal or drink, I almost always tip what I was going to pay. I'm sure some people would think I'm crazy but, shit, times are tough. An extra $15 or $20 in cash might really help someone out. Nearly everyone I've known has been a server or a delivery driver. I just imagine how when they were young and broke, getting a little extra really made their day.

Why don't you just go ahead and point to all those times in history where marginalized people advanced because they ignored/laughed at those who oppose their existence?

How can you determine if it's an accurate assessment when it's just a guess and there's almost no way of confirming?

If I had to guess, I'd say that cell phone had child pornography on it. Or, the police believe it did.

It's valid as a representation of Australia but considering that Australia is an island nation with an entirely different eco system, what part of that do you think is comparable or representative of a state within a country with a totally different eco system?
Actually, that's my point. Even if you could get someone to enact such a state measure, you're going to be hard pressed to find anyone who wants to be on the kitty genocide team. Not to mention, making it only a state law wouldn't stop the population either. It's pretty fucking sad that you find the fact that people are too empathetic to kill cats a bad thing.
No one treats all animals equally. Emotionally, fundamentally, or legally. If we were then we would also pick off humans that were destroying the ecosystem too. I don't see you advocating for that...
Again, that's not what anthropomorphize means.
If you're going to summarize the second two studies then you should probably use a quote from the abstract because that's not what they said, basically or otherwise. Furthermore, they don't prove your initial point that euthanasia is always the best approach. It's a bit difficult to have a conversation when you deliberately ignore nuance and context, particularly in your own "proof".
