Horny History: Albert S. Priddy
It’s real history, as told by some horny dude in my inbox and me
Albert S. Priddy was the doctor behind Virginia’s first recorded eugenic sterilization. A man who asked lawmakers to consider “the application of legalized eugenics” by restricting marriage for, and sterilizing those he deemed unfit. These sterilizations he said were therapeutic for society. Albert disliked epileptics, the “insane”, the “feeble-minded”, alcoholics, prostitutes and people with physical abnormalities, but his main targets for sterilization, were girls and women of child bearing age.
Albert managed to sterilize about 125 people at the Virginia State Colony while fighting to make doing so legal. He died in 1925 before a case he was a part of went to the Supreme Court, authorizing states to forcibly sterilize those “unfit to procreate.” 2,781 sterilizations were performed at the Virginia Colony after the legalization of eugenic sterilization, largely due to Albert’s efforts. If you want to hear more awful things about Albert Priddy and that case, you’re in luck.
As always, I would appreciate you heart reacting this post for me. More engagement means more people might see my work. ♥️

Paid subscriptions are only $5 a month and you get the added benefit of additional stories only paid subscribers can see. A little bit from all of you makes this possible.

I can't believe such a suave boulevardier who calmly tosses out droll witticisms such as "Do you have big boobs?" would struggle to find a partner.
I put this on your Facebook already but I still can’t get over it:
“Did you know that 80% of all the women in the United States are actively having sex with the same 1% of men.”
I admittedly suck at maths but that would average out to only 165,800 men in the country with a sex life. And they’d each have like 800 partners.
I need to step my game up apparently.
OR… that’s total bullshit.
