My favorite arguments are ones that pit two ideas from the same cultural trope against each other. For example, "It's racist to decry catcalling; most catcalls are done by POC, where catcalling is a flattering/nonthreatening gesture, and the white protest is unwelcome"

or: "If eating meat is wrong, then late-term abortion is wrong too" or "If eating meat is fine, then fucking animals should be legal" or "If women should have control over their own bodies even with externalities, then abortion+sex work should be legal" If you have any, comment!

or the ol' classic I'm really into lately: "If we're gonna truly treat women like they have agency, then we should stop expecting men to be the ones to protect us from other sexist men"

or "Pedophilia is terrible - sexual arousal from a scenario that only results in damage to another person is horrible. Also, BDSM should be illegal."

Mine would be if you are an atheist you should be pro-life, just as if you are religious you should be okay with pro-choice since you're sending pure souls to be with Jesus.

More highlights of weird ideological bedfellows! If you decided not to have kids to save the environment, and you judge others through that worldview, that's racist. If you're against GMOs because they're unnatural chimeras, then you should also be against grafting trees.
