It's "No True Scotsman".

I'm not interested in the noodling semantic argument. Don't bullshit me. You're not getting anywhere with it.

I stand by everything I've said on this thread. Anyone who suggests men in this industry deal with harassment of the same kind women do should be embarrassed. Will, inevitably, be embarrassed. I'll happily sign my own name to that.

The patronizing correction isn't needed given they had it right the first time. The second time was likely an uncaught typo.

>in other words, sort like the "no true scotsman" fallacy).

Further, you don't seem interested in any form of conversation. I can't say you're posting in good faith - but rather have already made your mind certain of something with no intentions of discussing it. Calling others names and taking the moral high ground, even when that moral high ground has little to no basis in reality and you've been given evidence otherwise.
