  • How likely do you think the downvoters are to be the one criticizing the dude for abandoning the woman vs. the ones upset he’s being criticized?

    Because I think the dude was shitty as hell and thus should theoretically be the type of man offended at being lumped in with him, but I get it. Women don’t know if they’re going to get my type of man or the type who will ditch them on a trail until it happens. And I’m pretty sure it we go through the effort to check those downvotes we’re not going to see many of them commenting about how this guy was in the wrong and instead a lot of empathizing with the shitty man.











  • I think that’s just shotgun argumentation. Say all the reasons something’s wrong so that if one doesn’t move someone the other might. The problem in the “think of the process” argument is when it becomes the primary argument because it assumes the “don’t kill people” one isn’t important.

    If it’s both “war is wrong” and “presidents siezing war powers is wrong” and Congress gives its approval, then that doesn’t take away her other criticism. She spends a lot more space taking about why the war is wrong than the process issue, but the process issue is also important because without taking back war powers statements of moral opposition mean nothing.
