What do you think is the most fundamentally flawed argument that feminists use.

That there are no fundamental differences between women and men. Except for all the ways in which women are better.

Wage gap, it's the only one to me that is extremely fundamentally flawed. Due to laws already active, it's illegal to pay women less, but yet they still argue that they are. When it's brought to attention the lack of women in high level positions, they blame sexism when it's mostly if not purely personal choice.

That there is nothing natural about normal sex. That gender is a social construct. That all sex is rape.

That only 2-8% of rapes are false. Except what they mean are 2-8% of theoretical rape claims are proven beyond a reasonable doubt to be false, and a similar number are proven true.

Patriarchy

That men have oppressed and dominated women throughout all of human history.

AlwaysABride · 2016-08-13T02:12:24+00:00

The idea that choosing to not work and living your life off the earnings of another person somehow means that you are oppressed.

Women are worse off. Thus most things that they strive for in the name of equality actually increase inequality by making the better-off gender even more better off. That's pretty fundamental.

That negatively generalising about religions, nationalities or other similar factors are bad whilst negatively generalising about gender is acceptable.

edit: personally I think generalisations are sometimes warranted or justifiable by degree. The problem is just the stark dichotomy between utter condemnation of almost all other types and wholehearted embracing of those about gender.

2016-08-13T03:10:05+00:00

That all male behavior is an elaborate plot to dehumanize women

aussietoads · 2016-08-13T00:02:35+00:00

'Every' argument they use is fundamentally flawed.

Ultramegasaurus · 2016-08-13T07:42:36+00:00

The myth of female oppression. Women in the west have it better in virtually every single regard than men.

And even back in history, things tended to be utter shit both genders of lower classes. Same deal with Muslim countries. Shit for both. I mean, in lots of Muslim countries male homosexuals are punished much more harshly than female ones.

When they claim "If you believe in equality, then you're a feminist." This is an Affirming the Consequent fallacy. Likewise, when they claim "If you oppose feminism, then you oppose equality." This is a Denying the Antecedent fallacy. For me these are particularly irritating logical fallacies because they throw them at me all the time. Ugh!

Captain-trunch · 2016-08-13T04:24:06+00:00

That toxic masculinity is the cause of domestic violence whereas it's misandrist attitude and female led domestic violence that causes women to get a clout.

Men do not just hit women for no reason. Stop giving them a reason.

As society knows,
