Saying "men are shallow" and "women are shallow" is not comparable...

“And you know this” A rhetorical technique known as presupposition or assumptive language.

It involves framing statements in a way that assumes the listener already agrees with the commenters point, even if they haven’t explicitly stated so. By repeatedly saying “and you know this,” the commenter is: implying agreement, minimizing disagreement and reinforcing authority.

And then the following sentence “ these two statements carry way different weight and meaning…”. This is circular reasoning and a lack of substantiation. The statement assumes as true the very thing it’s trying to prove.

—that the two statements inherently carry different weight and meaning. The commenter doesn’t explain why they carry different weight; instead, they treat it as self-evident. This creates a loop: “These statements are different because they carry different weight, and you know they carry different weight because they’re different.”This lacks logical depth because no evidence or reasoning supports the claim.

Assertion without evidence: The commenter relies heavily on assertive language (“you know this”) without offering any concrete examples, historical context, or reasoning to justify the difference in perceived weight. This tactic attempts to bypass critical analysis by appealing to assumed common knowledge.

And: psychological manipulation (social pressure) By repeatedly insisting “you know this,” the commenter tries to create a false consensus effect—making the listener feel isolated or irrational if they disagree. This isn’t an argument based on logic but on social conformity. In essence, the flaw isn’t just in the sentence but in how it’s used to reinforce an unproven claim through assumption, not reasoning.

Aaaand: The opposite term of “femicide” is referred to as “androcide”.

Game, Set and Match.

No men and women are not the same. The question is whether or not they should be treated the same. I believe they should be, and I know that these sexists do not agree with me.

A- "We just want equality!"

B- "Men and women are not the same and should not be subjected to the same standards!"

You can only pick one.

Special pleading.
