  • Don't bother debating with feminists
    • They may or may not be open to alternative viewpoints but it doesn't really matter
  • Bypass them and advocate to people who are yet to commit to one side or the other, the media and politicians
  • Men, because they are the ones at risk now
  • The media, because they still have access to a large audience
  • Politicians because they are the ones who can change the laws

Debating

  • Always take the high ground when debating
    • Stick to the facts
    • If you can't back it up I don't say it
    • Never ever make ad hominem attacks
    • When someone makes an ad hominem attack they are conceding their opponent's point
    • If they could attack the argument on merit they would be better off doing so
    • Better to say nothing than to get personal
  • If you say that someone is wrong you need to back it up, ideally with multiple sources
  • If you are expressing an opinion make it clear that it is an opinion
  • Don't draw parallels between different sorts of discrimination
    • Such comparisons are often very complex and make a poor basis for analogy
