NEENER NEENER

1Bobby McGee (now Ricochet Rebel) is arguing on the mic that the widespread oppression against women in Saudi Arabia is no big deal because apparently the Americans who want to talk about women's rights don't mention that somewhere in America, apparently teenagers are being prosecuted for eating french fries.

I shit you not.

This is called the Tu Quoque Fallacy, which is Latin for "you too." Bobby doesn't want to have to defend repression of women in arab countries on the merits, so all he can do is point to incidents in America that are not even close to being comparable. Maybe if Bobby had the balls to talk about the genuinely autocratic and misogynistic cultures of arab nations, he might be more respected on PT.

I'm not holding my breath.
