Description of Fallacies

In order to understand what a fallacy is, one must understand what an argument is. Very briefly, an argument consists of one or more premises and one conclusion. A premise is a statement (a sentence that is either true or false) that is offered in support of the claim being made, which is the conclusion (which is also a sentence that is either true or false).

There are two main types of arguments: deductive and inductive. A deductive argument is an argument such that the premises provide (or appear to provide) complete support for the conclusion. An inductive argument is an argument such that the premises provide (or appear to provide) some degree of support (but less than complete support) for the conclusion. If the premises actually provide the required degree of support for the conclusion, then the argument is a good one. A good deductive argument is known as a valid argument and is such that if all its premises are true, then its conclusion must be true. If all the argument is valid and actually has all true premises, then it is known as a sound argument. If it is invalid or has one or more false premises, it will be unsound. A good inductive argument is known as a strong (or "cogent") inductive argument. It is such that if the premises are true, the conclusion is likely to be true.

A fallacy is, very generally, an error in reasoning. This differs from a factual error, which is simply being wrong about the facts. To be more specific, a fallacy is an "argument" in which the premises given for the conclusion do not provide the needed degree of support. A deductive fallacy is a deductive argument that is invalid (it is such that it could have all true premises and still have a false conclusion). An inductive fallacy is less formal than a deductive fallacy. They are simply "arguments" which appear to be inductive arguments, but the premises do not provided enough support for the conclusion. In such cases, even if the premises were true, the conclusion would not be more likely to be true.

Too bad all of us can't take the role of victim and have everyone around us be extra sensitive to our needs while we ignore the needs of others. Surely I see people of all genders, colors, and sexualities really being made victims all the time by other people of all genders, colors, and sexualities. Most people find a way to cope, or or get help from others around them if they are lucky. Some people will never heal. Some people CHOOSE to remain a victim. By choosing to remain a victim you are stealing support from actual victims who need it. This former category is often nothing more than a form of sociopathy designed to provide a veil of justness over ones own actions of systematic manipulation, abuse, and squandering of people's precious time, energy, and emotional well being.

Do you see the possible gains in recognizing the general current in systems of oppression, or would you rather just pretend it's an even playing field with no regard to privileges?
Seems like you're eager to place blame on the oppressed's resulting neurotic behaviors.

You're actually glorifying with an excessive amount of drama how attractive you are

OP is actually a guy, so....

Though admittedly he's kinda got that Justin Bieber ambivalency thing going on. I hear the very young people are attracted to that.

I certainly do believe current systems of oppression need to be exposed. Currently whether you understand it or not you are being used as a tool of oppression as well. You do not seek to improve the world around you by contributing to it, you merely seek to receive personal satisfaction of catharsis via spewing hatred about half of all of humanity and suppressing viewpoints you do not agree with.  This is not productive, and is little more than personal justification to perpetrate the same abuses onto others as you claim were perpetrated upon you, only in a polar opposite fashion. That is not progress, that is repetition of a failed system of oppression you claim to reject.

because no woman has ever raped a man right?

i had an asshole female boss once. i assumed she was feminist because she was always nice to the female employees. that didn't make me hate all females though.

i believe many feminists nowadays are just misandrysts (man haters) and it really undermines the feminist movement.  i believe if a woman is for equality, then feminism is not necessary. if a guy is an asshole to you, don't pigeonhole all men as misogynists, because theres assholes in both sexes.

i know in some countries such as in the middle east, women are still very oppressed, and feminism is needed in those places. but in america, for a feminist 
to say that "its a mans world" feels insulting. example: americas family courts are totally biased in the woman's favor as the mother usually gets custody or most custody of a child.
women also are able to get away with a lot more; maybe sweet talk their way out of a speeding ticket, etc.  Guys- when was the last time a woman bought you a beer at the bar?

i dont condone violence, but if women want to be treated the same as men, does that mean a man can get into a fist fight with a woman without impunity?

Men get raped, and women can do it. It's missing the point however to make rules based on exceptions. To focus on this is to lose focus on the worldwide (including the first world) nature of rape, which is men raping women.
Misandry is a cop out word with no real meaning when considering currents of sociological practice.
Whether you're in the middle east or not, women are at a disadvantage- often being seen as your most american of consumer goods and nothing more, whether subconsciously or explicitly.
Child custody hearing statistics are irrelevent when you consider that men often feel that children are women's problem. I say good riddance to fathers.

In what ethical reality would anyone punch anyone with impunity? How is this a rubric fro equality? Why is equality even valuable?

It seems to me that "feminists" such of yourself are so self centered that you completely lose your frame of reference for yourself and the world, and pay no attention to the harm you cause to men and women, and so casually dismiss it. Misandry is a real problem that men often pay for with their lives. The fact that you are so sexist to dismiss the issue as a whole as being a "cop out" is just a tactic to make sure that men are only seen as victimizers, and never the victim in need of help, or even a helpful person. Your speech is full of nothing but misdirected hatred and discrimination and it is quite repulsive. In my opinion you have issues with your own sexuality and are projecting your dissonance on everything that is male. I think you should work on your personal issues before you advise other people how to behave and what to believe. Men are humans and deserve rights regardless of your total disdain for half of humanity.

Just let this thread die please. Ktttn is very obviously broken.

Just because some one broke you doesn't give you the right to go around trying to break everyone else.

[randomcloud]

Honestly all of the snide woman-bashing in this thread makes me not want to listen to anti-feminists. At all. I wonder how many women dumped you all before you got all bitter. :/  Now let's watch you all whine and cry about feminist hypocrisy while you spend the better part of this thread making fun of and ganging up on any woman who cares about women's issues by calling them man-hating hairy-legged ivory-tower hormone-raging feminist psychos who are completely disconnected from reality.

I will give you all this much, though: threads like this are a good way to know who to stay the hell away from. :/

[Lethn]

lol Randomcloud for the record it should be pretty obvious that I'm for actual women's rights ( not the phony bullshit ktttn and their like make up ), but the problem is that there are people like ktttn who hijack all the pressure groups out there ( not just women's rights groups ) and don't actually talk about equal rights but special treatment and that's where you toe the line of actually wanting to be treated equal and just using mob tactics to get what they want under the guise of equal rights.

For instance, here in the UK we do actually have a real problem with unions, I used to respect them because like with women's groups they fought for equal rights, but now I see teachers who do a shitty job of educating children ( I know because I was in that system ) and actually having the balls to complain about their pensions. I think it's all a load of bullshit really and people should be ashamed of themselves rather than trying to lecture the people who argue with them about how much better they are than the other lot which is all these arguments amount to in the end.

So you're saying they're not man-hating hairy-legged ivory-tower hormone-ranging feminist psychos?

[Lethn]

No I'm just saying they're man-hating feminist psycho's actually, that's not right either, they're not even really feminist, they just hate men, so really they're just self-righteous sexists, I think calling these people feminists is giving them far more credit than they deserve.

[TECSHARE]

Additionally this is more men are only perpetrators women are only victims bullshit. Both men and women are victims and perpetrators. This "woman" we are "bashing" Is neither a woman, nor is anyone being bashed. What is happening is a bigoted supremacist is being called on his hatred and bias.

Matriarchy. Hm. Seems like a stupid idea thought up by insecure men to make themselves feel like they have something to defend against. Also, it says clear as a bell in my profile that I'm female. Your independent research as to the Y contents of my genes doesn't match up to that.

Additionally this is more men are only perpetrators women are only victims bullshit. Both men and women are victims and perpetrators. This "woman" we are "bashing" Is neither a woman, nor is anyone being bashed. What is happening is a bigoted supremacist is being called on his hatred and bias.

Pronouns can be used as a weapon. This is a case of such a thing. My hatred and bias is nothing in comparison to antifeminists, or as y'all prefer to be called antimisandrists- or whatever convoluted crap can be come up with to run away from and distort feminism.

Also, the fact that I identify as female is none of your business. I identify as a woman because I am a woman. That I do not fit your definition is a problem with your definition.

I see a reason. The reason is you are perpetrating the EXACT SAME BEHAVIOR against males as a group which you claim to hate when perpetrated against women. This is not progress, this is repetition of the same cycle of hatred you claim to fight. You aren't stopping this kind of behavior, you are PERPETRATING IT. Just because it is perpetrated against males rather than females does not make it more evolved or a solution to the problem of humans oppressing other humans.  It doesn't matter what gender you are, we are ALL OPPRESSED except for a small handful of people holding the resources. Just because the oppression takes many different forms doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it is less difficult, or that only one sex oppresses the other. This is bullshit, and you are being used as a tool of further oppression and supporting division rather than unity, in stead of trying to heal this rift.  Its done via gender, age, race, religion, politics, class, etc.... Divide and conquer. 

As far as your personal situation, I don't really care what you identify yourself as. It really doesn't effect me in any way, and you should be free to live your life however it best pleases you. What does matter however, is that you claim authority to make these arguments as a woman, but in reality most of the world does not share the definition as you see it. You can't fight for the right to have your own definitions, then tell the rest of the world they can't have their own. You are free to identify yourself however you like, you are not free to dictate your personal definitions and beliefs be held by the rest of the world.

lol Randomcloud for the record it should be pretty obvious that I'm for actual women's rights ( not the phony bullshit ktttn and their like make up ), but the problem is that there are people like ktttn who hijack all the pressure groups out there ( not just women's rights groups ) and don't actually talk about equal rights but special treatment and that's where you toe the line of actually wanting to be treated equal and just using mob tactics to get what they want under the guise of equal rights.

I can kind of give you that much; I don't know that much about the feminist movement but I do know that it was hijacked by conservative women in the late 20th century who exploited it to promote religious Puritanical bullshit like the anti-porn stuff and the general rejection of the feminine. That bothers the hell out of me.

I call bullshit on these "Women are just using feminisim to manipulate men into giving them what they want!" claims. It comes off as dubious ad-hom bullshit mysoginistic bitter men use to smear women because of their myriad of issues with them -- these men face social pressure from their peers to successfully bed as many women as possible and when they are rejected, they feel rage, frustration, resentment and feelings of inferiority because they can't fulfill the strict and demanding roles imposed on them by society. They feel as though the world is out to get them because of this and they feel victimized; they turn this anger inward and then onto the very women they tried and failed to court.

And ultimately whether those so-called "oppressive feminists" are doing that is irrelevant because it's a pointless ad-hom attack that's taking away time, energy, and resources for what's really important -- the terrible things that happen to both men and women largely because of the gender roles, stereotypes, and beliefs imposed onto everyone by the culture.

For instance, here in the UK we do actually have a real problem with unions, I used to respect them because like with women's groups they fought for equal rights, but now I see teachers who do a shitty job of educating children ( I know because I was in that system ) and actually having the balls to complain about their pensions. I think it's all a load of bullshit really and people should be ashamed of themselves rather than trying to lecture the people who argue with them about how much better they are than the other lot which is all these arguments amount to in the end.

I don't know anything about the UK educational system so I won't remark on that. I do agree with your last statement which is why I spoke up.

You'd think the clowns making fun of ktttn would try to do that if they were so morally correct, but instead of proving that they've moved beyond all that and that they're better than the "oppressive feminists" they choose to deride, they're doing what most mysoginists do -- gang up on poor deluded fuckwits like ktttn and circlejerk each other, reaffirming how correct they are and never allowing their own deluded mindsets to be challenged.

Just ignore people like ktttn, people like her are so far divorced from everyday reality they're beyond the horizon and fading fast. And so are the clowns in this room bullying her, ignore them too and stop being one yourself.


*will wait until everyone stops being a fucking retard and will then be happy to actually talk about gender issues*

Just because someone reacts as if they are being bullied because they don't like to be challenged, does not make it bullying. Where is all of this "bullying" and "woman bashing" please quote. I saw a couple people make some distasteful comments, but by far nothing worse or more sexist than what has come from kttn. If you go around abusing people would you not at the very least expect a vigorous response? Reviewing the posts it seems to me that most of the comments are firmly targeted at kttn's logic and ideology, and I don't see anyone claiming moral superiority (other than kttn).

Should men now let women or for that matter other men simply take the pattern of abuse and dominance and simply reverse the rolls, once again until it is intolerable and repeat a painful pattern of very real destruction and revolution? Men are raising their voices not because of arrogant and egotistical claims of rejection from women, but because there are lots of men out there who fight for equality, but are being punished because of this desire for catharsis and revenge thru role reversal, rather than resolving the pattern of abuse. Frankly good men are tired of paying for the mistakes of others, and remaining silent while men in general are being pigeonholed into a place of subservience and abuse is not an option.

Feminism isn't about equality.

It's about pushing down men as far as you can to make up for all the years women were pushed down.


Basically, bullshit.
