This is the worst kind off middle-brow bullshit where you have parroted an unrelated quote with no commentary whatsoever on what possible parallels you see between these two concepts.
- Sir_Substance 10y agoThe parallel he is attempting to draw is fairly obvious, which suggests that you are being deliberately disingenuous and/or oblivious. It's a low quality argumentative technique, and is generally employed in the hope that your opponent will respond with something easier to attack, aka an attempt to generate a straw man. 5/10 for enthusiasm but 2/10 for technique.
- vertex-four 10y agoWhile it's obvious, it's also disingenuous when making an argument to fail to make the entirety of your argument, and thus avoid saying "difficult" things. "I feel that the requirement for non-gendered language is preventing people from thinking about the differences between genders", for example, would be something that can actually be dissected and responded to. A quote can't, so much.
