| 1 | How do y'all feel about hyperbole/overstatement during discourse?Your preferences are your own, unless you are able to convince other people to follow them. You are not being very persuasive. Non Sequitur Fallacy; How did we get on the subject of my persuasive ability? That has nothing to do with whether or not I committed a Tone Fallacy. | /r/MensRights | 06/06/23 01:48 AM |
| 1 | How do y'all feel about hyperbole/overstatement during discourse?My preferences include being logically sound. Too bad we couldnt make it past correcting your tone policing accusation. It's odd how many people disappear after a rebuttal | /r/MensRights | 05/06/23 07:42 PM |
| 1 | Not only not all men are bad towards women, but only a low minority of men are a threat and they aren't regular men. Here's the evidence:This is exactly why I think we should be wary over hyperbole and overstatement. The hashtag yes all men maxim is often used to paint a one dimensional reality and has been wielded like a weapon against innocent people | /r/MensRights | 05/06/23 12:20 AM |
| 1 | Denying Misandry's ExistenceThere is a lot of effort to cover up misandry or deny its existence/impact I had a conversation with one of the mods of ask feminism that went like this... Mod: /r/ AskFeminists/wiki/faq#wiki_ironic_misandry Me: Forgive me if you find this too interrogative... As opposed to unironic misandry right? I find that some people use the concept of "ironic misandry" as a cover for unironic misandry and may outright deny the existence of feminists that actually do hate men. Do you yourself subscribe to… | /r/MensRights | 04/06/23 06:39 PM |
| 1 | Men VS Men?Well said, we need to avoid polarizing ourselves. People are just people and all movements go too far | /r/MensRights | 04/06/23 05:18 PM |
| 1 | How do y'all feel about hyperbole/overstatement during discourse?Here... "Points are not made as well when one is too hyperbolic." I am being the change I want to see. I brought up the question and it lead to discourse with people like you. I think that having to demonstrate that this isnt a tone fallacy was helpful for me and potentially others | /r/MensRights | 04/06/23 04:30 PM |
| 1 | How do y'all feel about hyperbole/overstatement during discourse?Even male children aren't loved. Raping a male child will, if you're really unlucky, see you jailed for 2-3 months. You didnt prove this Cherry picking with those are examples proves that a lack of punishment for women can happen. That is a problem, but the words you used, "Raping a male child" seems to refer to just rape in general of male children and the minimum sentences for rape in some states is much more than a couple months. Non sequitur? Again, call me crazy, call me old fashioned, but … | /r/MensRights | 04/06/23 03:51 PM |
| 0 | How do y'all feel about hyperbole/overstatement during discourse?Tone is not what this post is about. I mean to address when people's arguments lose substance through the misuse of hyperbole. This in turn does affect the tone and I do find that beneficial, but I want to focus on fallacy. It's mainly a matter of logos not pathos. Our points are not made as well when we are too hyperbolic. | /r/MensRights | 04/06/23 03:13 PM |
| 1 | How do y'all feel about hyperbole/overstatement during discourse?You just did the same thing a lot of the feminists do on those subs. Non Sequitur, Appeal to Emotion: Wall of text engaging in Victim Olympics instead of responding to the substance of the argument Even male children aren't loved. Raping a male child will, if you're really unlucky, see you jailed for 2-3 months. Please prove this. That would be news to me, but it still would be non sequitur You say this is hyperbole: "Only women, children, and dogs are loved unconditionally. A man is only loved … | /r/MensRights | 04/06/23 04:12 AM |
| 1 | How do y'all feel about hyperbole/overstatement during discourse?I get the hostility, but it would be nice if there was less and it would definitely help with the sub's image. Agreed I do also think that it's better than r/ askfeminism though. That subreddit doesn't even allow people with opposing ideas to make comments there. That is the exact reason I posed the question here. I knew there would be bad faith responses but figured that this place would respond less aggressively than r / ask feminism and wanted to be able to showcase the results There was even… | /r/MensRights | 04/06/23 03:09 AM |
| -2 | How do y'all feel about hyperbole/overstatement during discourse?Oh goody, some tone policing! 🤣 You really think this is simply tone policing? Any examples? All women are x. Every man is y type of statements. Do you really not know what I am talking about? What, exactly, are we "analysing"? You make this place sound like some kind of academic study group instead of a loose congregation of people casually engaging with each other. I find that the word analyze can apply to casual situations as well. Do you really think that I am trying to make this place into … | /r/MensRights | 04/06/23 02:54 AM |
| -1 | How do y'all feel about hyperbole/overstatement during discourse?Right, I know the main thing that we can do is mind ourselves. This really is just a way of finding out whether people think this sub or r / ask feminism is in a healthy state and to find out what we might do | /r/MensRights | 04/06/23 01:40 AM |
| -1 | How do y'all feel about hyperbole/overstatement during discourse?I imagine that is correct. I am unconcerned with them and more care for how we as posters and the mods here might improve the situation for all. I want to discuss how overstatement can lead to overreaction and under analysis and what we might do about it in a forum such as this. | /r/MensRights | 04/06/23 01:36 AM |
| 0 | How do y'all feel about hyperbole/overstatement during discourse?Forgive me, Im not following you. Here's an example of hyperbole that I believe was appropriately used, "Only women, children, and dogs are loved unconditionally. A man is only loved under the condition that he provide something" Many here find the phrase, "Yes, all men." to be misuse of hyperbole Many would consider this to be an overstatement that effectively demonstrates the idea of male disposability. However, some would say that this can of course be stated with too much emphasis and lose i… | /r/MensRights | 04/06/23 01:33 AM |
