Straw-man. Or possibly framing the original argument stereotypically&#x2F;in bad-faith.<p>Concluding you only have one side of the story, is not the same as, nor necessitates ignoring it. One alternative is getting the other side of the story.<p>I also find the phrasing &quot;because women can be unreasonable&quot; to be suspicious - there is no reason to put it this way rather than &quot;people can be unreasonable&quot;; OP made no claim that only women should be treated with skepticism.<p>- are you trying to invoke the historical meme of women being dismissed as irrational?
