Hello, Quite frequently we hear questions like "Is it fair that that women earn less than men?" as a response to valid arguments based on research and evidence. This is a clear attempt to dehumanise the person as well as to appeal to the emotions of the listeners. The way I see it we have two choices, either surrender and agree with the other person or stand our ground in which case we risk being called and labelled with all the nasty words. I understand that such emotional appeals should not be a part of any sort of reasonable debate, however, it is quite hard to avoid such questions especially when the debate takes place in a university. Let's face it, the moment we are being labelled as a racist or a misogynist, nobody will listen to us. Is there a way of avoiding agreeing and at the same time listeners not labelling you as a spawn of Satan?
