Manning Up or Wimping Out: Men Don’t Exist to Serve Women’s Desires
Charge of Misogyny (Code Black)
Discussion: The target is accused of displaying some form of unwarranted malice to a particular woman or to women in general. Examples:
* “You misogynist creep!”
* “Why do you hate women?”
* “Do you love your mother?”
* “You are insensitive to the plight of women.”
* “You are mean-spirited.”
* “You view women as doormats.”
* “You want to roll back the rights of women!!”
* “You are going to make me cry.”
Response: One may ask the accuser how does a pro-male agenda become inherently anti-female (especially since feminists often claim that gains for men and women are “not a zero-sum game”). One may also ask the accuser how do they account for women who agree with the target’s viewpoints. The Code Black shaming tactic often integrates the logical fallacies of “argumentum ad misericordiam” (viz., argumentation based on pity for women) and/or “argumentum in terrorem” (viz., arousing fear about what the target wants to do to women).
