The Front
“The Latest from the Feminist “Front” by Rush Limbaugh argument is that how male’s pursuit females. The title “Feminist Front is the first evidence that the writer use to characterize feminist create a facade. The writer claims his views on the feminist movement is rough, insensitive, cruel, and provocative. The writer is rough on feminist with is why there is common ground. The excerpt has several logical fallacies which is some type of counter statement that weakens an argument (Writer’s np). There are dozens of articles that are published in newspapers, advertisements, and other sources that have these logical fallacies. It is not easy to know if an argument is fallacious. The argument might be very weak to very strong.
The writer makes the first logical fallacy called red herring. A red herring is when during the argument, the arguer changes the topic by raising a side issue that distracts the audience. The red herring fallacy in the first paragraph reads, “Few of my “Thirty-five Undeniable Truths of Life” have stirred as much controversy and outrage as Number Twenty-four: “Feminism was established so that unattractive women could have easier access to the mainstream of society.” Rush does not explain this truth about unattractive women. This is because he is Rush, a radio personality, which talks harshly and loud to sway people to believe his viewpoint. Now, he is normally wrong in my viewpoint like this excerpt. Rush gets paid to build controversy. Let’s look at his statement about “unattractive” women. The writer’s implied warrant statement about the unattractive feminism is his definition for an outspoken woman. His first sub-claim implies that some feminist leaders are anti-male, because they speak out when men inappropriately flirt or make inappropriate comments. This is one side of the issue which is called stacked evidence (Woods 222). The audience is supposed to agree with Rush, simply because, he repeats “it’s the truth” which

    The primarily fallacious argument is that of general rule, assuming that something is true in general in every possible case. for example, the first sentence in the second paragraph that evokes a partial truth that all men are created equal. When in fact the writers mean that only white land owners were considered equal…

    In "Donald Trrump's Women Problem" Doyel McManus argues that although Donald Trump may win the dominican side, how he characterizes women may jepardize his chances of winning presidency. His audience is mainly for people who are going to vote for president, this upcoming year. He makes his point by discussing studies that show women that women do not like Trump. The author uses direct quotes from Trump that make him sound like a douche. These quotes make the audience feel disgusted of Trumps intentions towards "building a better America."…

    My news editorial is The False Promises in President Trump's Tax Plan by the New York Times written in Aug 30 2017. This article is about (as expected) the false promises in Trumps tax plan. There are a few subtle examples about the authors opinions such as placing somewhat unneeded negative descriptions and a caricature of Donald trump dropping a giant pile of tax documents on helpless victims (clearly biased). The author might feel so strongly because they are in the middle class and were jealous of the top 1 percent savings of about 175k while only saving about 0.8k themselves. In contrast, most small business owners love Trumps tax plan because they think they will get that 175 grand off. Although I am biased on this topic I still…

    In the article “5 Reasons to Oppose Betsy DeVos”, author Lisette Partelow works to create further opposition to President Trump’s controversial education secretary. The central claim of the entire article is that Betsy Devos should not be in charge of the Department of Education. She clearly states this early on in the article, even in the title. She begins the substance of the article by saying it is not very difficult to see why DeVos would be a bad education secretary. She makes her personal bias very clear. Partelow writes that DeVos’s agenda will be “insidiously destructive”. Right away, the diction used by Partelow would likely dissuade people who support DeVos and Trump from being open to considering the arguments presented.…

    For this question I would first like to address the question of fallacies as while the speech has to do with a serious topic, I found the tone of the speech to be using the scare tactic technique. Sentences such as this “…or listening in the quiet of your home, to recognize that AIDS virus is not a political creature.” Using the word creature put the image of a monster or something from your nightmare into your imagination. Other scare tactics used would be “littering its pathway with the bodies of the young” and “If you do not see this killer stalking your children, look again.” These statements bring terrible over the top images to mind, with no other purpose other than to scare you into following the direction laid out by the speaker. Also such fallacies as the slippery slope are used. In the paragraph: AIDS is the third leading killer of young adult Americans today. But it won’t…

    Despite what was mentioned above, she did provide facts and reassured the audience that other women does suffer sexist vitriol. One could feel her passion and vigor on the topic to the point one would get blinded by the fact there’s no solid purpose. The entire article is just filled with examples of sexist vitriol. The first paragraph is her personal example. The second was her thesis. The next three are about Clinton and how Kafer is against the use of vitriol to diminish her. Following that she brought up identity-based insults. Then the next paragraphs focus on different women and their experience with sexist…

    The book I most recently read is The Underneath by Kathi Appelt. The book is a fictional book where all creatures can talk to each other. The book has a strange way of telling its story. The story follows many points view, the cats, Grandmother Snake, the Alligator King, Ranger, Gar Face, and more characters. Somehow all of these characters stories tie up together. The book mainly follows the cat’s story.…

    In the beginning, Hillary Clinton starts her speech with achievement that women have been achieving which leads everyone to feel proud of today’s world’s women. However, she clearly highlights all the terrible things that women have to deal with, such as rape, burning, abortion, honor killings etc. One of the examples she gave was girls being abused and tortured because they are born as girls. “It is a violation of human rights when babies are denied food, or drowned, or suffocated, or their spines broken, simply because they are born girls.” She painted the picture the way her audience would feel sympathy towards these women who have become victims of these kind of violence. The audience would realize that these women weren’t allowed to have…

    One example proving this is how Robert Reich is a democrat and they all tend to be anti conservative, yet this the article seems to be very reliable. He is the former labor sectary, meaning that he has years of experience dealing with the economic problems of this nation regarding the work force. The strength of the article would be how he acknowledges the pro’s and con’s of minimum wage, yet a major weakness is how unspecific he is when it come to how this will affect the nation. He is just discussing it on a local level, which is the futile purpose of this piece.…

    With Limbaugh painting this false image of Fluke being a slut and having way too much sex, this is a public example of what many women face today. The War on Women is not a fancy title to just the issue of contraception. It is also about how the patriarchy silences women and what they are standing for. Fluke rebuttals on ABC saying “Historically, this is the language used to silence women.” This is not a new concept or idea.…

    In the article “Clinton, Trump, and Sexism” by New York Times writer Nicholas Kristof, the author makes the argument that feminism is becoming more acceptable while sexism is a fading characteristic of our modern day society. Kristof proves his claim through the scope of politics by analyzing the Democratic and Republican candidates, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.In addition, the author states that early in her career Clinton was criticized for having feminist ideals that were often opposed in the late twentieth century. Nextly, Kristof comments that Hillary Clinton is no stranger to criticism as she has endured ongoing verbal attacks even continuing into her candidacy of 2008 and now of 2016. Although she is still commonly chastised for…

    The rhetorical question “why don’t you make the men stronger?” leads to an answer based through a religious allusion. She uses patriarchal representation to prove that feminism can be seen negatively even the wisdom of Christian theology, as-well as using her own personal experiences with men to reflect on her answer. This religious allusion affirms that there are men who are weak in real life and therefore should be presented in literature realistically thus leading to a statement based on changing the unrealistic stereotypes of…

    Men and boys also suffer from things like domestic violence. Those who are abused, are told that they’re ‘weak’ and need to ‘man up’. Things like this tells men, not only that they should act a certain way, but also that treating people badly is okay if their different. Which leads to bullying. This is done by implying that ‘like a man’ is better than being 'like a woman'. Men who are abused by their partners are seen as jokes. This is because a lot of people have the idea that men need to be ‘strong’, ‘manly’ and ‘unemotional’. Because being anything close to a woman is apparently an insult. And contrary to popular belief, feminism fights for men too. Feminism is about equality, not one gender being better than the other. Men are assaulted and abused because of sexism. They are laughed at for wearing skirts or dresses. But do you know who mostly does this to them? Its other men. Men are the ones insulting other men for being ‘weak’, because that’s being ‘like a…
