1	FINESSED. A good number of people can tell that someone resorting to ad hominem attacks is wrong. I don't think you're an idiot for your position, but I do think you're an idiot for thinking that my belief that this woman in particular is wrong, somehow means that I'm not a feminist, and that I believe all women are wrong.	/r/PussyPassDenied	06/03/21 05:20 PM
1	FINESSED. Pal, I've seen plenty of Jordan Peterson and other right-wing Youtube pundits (Crowder, Shapiro, whoever). They all argue in the same way, and they're very good at it; they undercut their opponent's argument in such a fashion as to ignore the actual debate, and instead make the audience believe that they've won (DESTROYED with FACTS and LOGIC!). There's plenty of Breadtube responses to their types of debate. It's well documented, and they have had a lot of practice at winning arguments in this m…	/r/PussyPassDenied	06/03/21 05:10 PM
0	FINESSED. Yeah, I am. If you are going to try to take someone to task in an interview, conversation, debate, whatever, then you need to be ready for them to argue in bad faith. "They go low, we go high" just leaves you gasping for air.	/r/PussyPassDenied	06/03/21 04:01 PM

Admittedly, we don't really know what happens next in the interview, but since it's ended up here, I'm guessing she doesn't immediately refocus on the fact that she is talking about those who do have power in our society, and that most of the issues Peterson mentioned can be attributed to the same group of rich, white, male assholes.	/r/PussyPassDenied	06/03/21 03:35 PM
1	FINESSED. Which is why she shouldn't be arguing that "men" have control. She should be arguing that a specific group of affluent, mostly white, mostly old, mostly men have all the power in society.	/r/PussyPassDenied	06/03/21 03:29 PM
0	FINESSED. I totally agree with you. This woman is a weak interviewer and a weak arguer. He totally shut her down with whataboutisms that she should have been prepared to rebuff. In fairness, part of her problem is that she doesn't appear to have a very intersectional understanding of feminism and equality.	/r/PussyPassDenied	06/03/21 03:13 PM
15	FINESSED. To his credit, he knew the most obvious point she was going to confront him with and had a pretty good answer to retort with. His retort isn't actually a response to her point, but it doesn't matter because she wasn't ready to deal with it.	/r/PussyPassDenied	06/03/21 03:10 PM
0	FINESSED. Shitty argument is shitty.	/r/PussyPassDenied	06/03/21 03:07 PM
