Okay, this Tweet kinda blew up & I can't respond to all of the conservatives who don't understand what an analogy is. So here's one for all of them: Bathrooms used to be segregated by race & when that ended White women cried & racists used those tears for their bigoted agendapic.twitter.com/Ucsoo4tr9B

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

It's really bizarre how often I see this. You present a basic analogy, and it's like, "So you mean these two things are the same?" No, what? What would even be the point of that analogy? It happens near every time without fail.

Quite often the point of using analogies in politics is to have it both ways. You want the similarity noticed, but by picking an analogous situation with more weight where the situation is plainly true, hope that the differences are ignored in the transposition.

The difference doesn't matter because the difference isn't the point. The point is to show that someone isn't consistent because their answer changes when it is, as you said, in a position that is plainly wrong.

Well obviously I'm arguing that a women having concerns over people who are sexually male entering a space previously reserved for those that are sexually female is not plainly 'wrong' !

Lol what? Yeah, I know you don't think that. That's why I moved things to another time where we segregated things to target oppressed minorities.
