"Gay people shouldn't marry because it will undermine the very fabric of civilization" "Women shouldn't vote, because they don't understand male concepts like War and Empire" "Everyone knows Irish people get drunk on St. Patrick's day!"

Is your claim that these statements are obviously false or that they're so offensive that they shouldn't be stated even if they're true?

Obviously false. I just stated them, so they're not de-facto offensive; they're offensive when you assert such an obvious falsehood as TRUE.

Can I here the evidence that caused you to assign such low probability to them.
