They're both in good faith. Point is whether or not its used to justify restricting anyone or denying opportunities.

My point is that I would use it to justify equal rights. There are better statements that can be made for that.

But I'm not particularly concerned, given that the intentions are good.

Can we agree its OK for an emotional plea, not for public policy?

It's OK for an emotional plea. There are better ones to make though.

Yes, obviously, they might only be pretending to be emotional coz you can't genuinely decide what to feel.

I don't follow but due to typos I haven't been clear myself. I think we agree on all this anyway.

You're thinking logically & strategically even with emotional appeals which are essentially an expression of emotion

They don't have to be logical. The only problem is when emotional appeals are presented as logical arguments.
