This is an incredible post of how to use logical fallacies to manipulate the narrative, truly impressive. In this post aloneโฆ
1. Straw Man / Misrepresentation of Criticism
2. Appeal to Emotion (Pathos) and Victimhood
3. False Equivalence / Tu Quoque (โYou Tooโ)
4. Appeal to Popularity / Common Practice (โEveryone Does Itโ)
5. Red Herring / Deflection
6. Begging the Question / Loaded Language

Took my 11-year-old daughter to a checkup today.
The nurse asked me to step out of the room.
I politely said no.
She said, "It's only for a moment."
I replied:
"My husband and I don't leave our children alone with anyone, including medical providers. Anything you need to say can be said with me here."
She looked annoyed and left.
The part that stuck with me?
As soon as she walked out, my daughter thanked me for staying.
Her eyes got huge the moment the nurse asked me to leave.
Maybe I'm overprotective.
But I'd rather be present and unnecessary than absent and regret it.
