Didn't mean it that way. I presume they went after women, too.

Oops; I was wrong. Went after lesbians in a different way. Jewish women weren't so "lucky".

In the racist practice of Nazi eugenics, women were valued primarily for their ability to bear children. The state presumed that women homosexuals were still capable of reproducing. Lesbians were not systematically persecuted under Nazi rule, but they nonetheless did suffer the loss of their own gathering places and associations.
