Get the Strawman mug.Hym "It wasn't because it she wouldn't sleep with me it was because she fucked the retard. The threat was over the stalking and you know that. And none of you have justified what you're doing in any way you dogshit. If. A group men did that. A woman that took issue with that wouldn't be getting the blatant strawmaning I'm getting from you. And that's how you know you're full of shit. And you don't give a fuck about STDs. If you care so much about STDs why do you need abortions? Should he be wearing a condom? If you're concerned with STDs you shouldn't need an abortion because you always use condoms. And a brothel could have health screenings. You just want your BITCH arbitrary whim to be the barrier to men getting pussy. The second it becomes cheap and available to everyone you lose the only leverage you have in life miss porn lady. It's about BEING THE DECIDER. But you're not the decider you're a whore and Cody just want 'be to nice girls and retards.' You're seriously dumb for that you really can't wrap your head around 'women sheltered by society and now entitled pieces of shit who play by a different set of rules.'

Get the Strawmaning mug.Strawmen are usually meant to be a misrepresentation of an opponent's argument that makes it easier to attack. For examples of strawmen being used, put the word "SJW" or "conservative" into the search bar of this godforsaken website.
Normally, an appropriate response is to call out the fact that this is a gross simplification in order to discourage the use of logical fallacies and promote basic fucking debate skills.
However, some people instead choose to become the Strawman Incarnate, in which they embrace every negative aspect of the opponent's grossly exaggerated characterization for the sake of "owning" them
For examples of this, see /pol/ on 4chan, or (insert bad thing the left did so I don't get dislike bombed by conservatives).

Simplified example of Strawman Incarnate:
Person A: Side B is bad because they eat babies!
Person B walks out and returns holding a baby and a fork
Person B: I BETCHA FEEL STUPID NOW, HUH?!?
