2/less than men, where children are trafficked for sex, etc. This is a deeply bad faith argument that you present. Sex is not

Women don't earn less than men. Child trafficking is wrong coz children can't make this decision.

You can tell me you disagree with my argument but not that its in bad faith. I hold my principles as truly as I accept u do
