When we desegregated bathrooms some white girls also held back tears because a black women might see them naked too.https://twitter.com/JVanMaren/status/1196528937259732992 …

I have always noticed that conservatives tend to have a hard time engaging with, or even understanding, analogies & thought experiments. It turns out that multiple studies have found that low abstract reasoning skills are associated with stronger conservative beliefs.pic.twitter.com/ibvF2jpZPC

There is an upside to this; making conservatives engage with abstract thinking may prime them to think more liberaly. Don't disengage with them when they trie to dodge or make excuses as to why it's a "dishonest" question. Make them work through abstract ways of thinking.pic.twitter.com/4wjAj5MPD7

The problem with your analogy is that quite a lot of conservatives see no problem with that either.

But many conservatives (and plenty of liberals too) are ALL about (superficially) acknowledging that the bigotry of the past is: a) bad b) safely contained in the past c) can't EVER be used to make inferences about issues in our time or future. That would be inconvenient.

I am going to need a source citation on this.
@KevinMKruse might you be able to determine if white women were specifically protesting black girls in the Little Rock Central High bathroom?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

One (!) girl said that. It doesn’t mean “
#whitewomen cried.” You see, women is a plural noun. It also denotes a female 18+. A girl (& most kids in school,) are under 18. Whew! ..I grew up in the Deep South during#desegregation. 3 schools in 3 years. Never heard that. Not once! - 1 more reply

Zoos used to be segregated by species, but what the hell, let's put the lions in with the koalas.

Lions who identify as Koalas, though.

I'd say conservatives understand analogies just fine, in that they are correctly pointing out the fallacies in the one you've attempted. Let me break this down for you: Racial segregation is not an accurate comparison to gender segregation.
