If you compare Darwin to the moral standards of today, he sounds like a monster(especially when you take his words out of context). If you compare him to people from his own time, he was a pretty normal dude, except not interested in getting married or being a christian. There was no civil rights for women and non-whites at all. If you were black, you were either a slave or the son of a slave, by today's standards they were completely sexist and racist. Women were not even considered human by the law.
Let's look at British suffrage history and Darwin here to put it in perspective:
1809: Darwin is born.
1869: Britain grants unmarried women who are householders the right to vote in local elections.
1882: Darwin dies.
1894: The United Kingdom expands women's voting rights to married women in local but not national elections.
1918: The United Kingdom gives a full vote to women of age 30 and older and men age 21 and older.
1928: The United Kingdom grants equal voting rights to women.
Notice that women were not given a full vote until 45 years after Darwin's death, almost as if, the generation that came after Darwin had completely different ideas than the one that preceded it.
Also the Eugenics that Galton worked on (ie nature vs nuture a study of Variation under Domestication, inheritance of abilities, encouraging rich people to marry each other), and the modern use of eugenics (referring to nazi style mass executions) is disingenuous. Articles like this (
