A consistent standard

Hym "You're not applying a consistent standard and you don't have a right to do this. You have to on some level understand that I don't just have to accept this as 'my life' and leave your kids out of it. You're wrong to do this and you cannot be allowed to use this against people without consequence. But I can threaten your kids without there needed to be any consequence. You kids lives do not matter more than mine and I'm not going to apologize to you. Make a statement or else. This is the way it needs to for me to agree to not murder your kids over this and I'm not accepting any conditions or contingencies."

Bostwick consistometer

A specific type of consistometer with a rectangular structure and a sluice gate; the opening of the gate causes the fluid within to flow; the distance and time it takes for the fluid to flow helps the user determine how runny or gloppy the substance is. In the United States, manufacturers of tomato ketchup are required to measure the consistency of their ketchup with a Bostwick consistometer.
Ketchup flowed through the Bostwick consistometer at a rate of 5.0 centimeters per 30 seconds, therefore it is of satisfactory consistency.

Basically, they don't give a rats ass about your situation or anything you just said. You're basically done for.

The logical fallacy of demanding that an opponent be perfectly consistent in everything they say or do—across contexts, over time, in every statement—while exempting oneself or one's own side from any such scrutiny. The fallacy ignores that human beings are complex, that contexts change, that learning involves changing one's mind, and that perfect consistency is impossible for any real person or movement. It's the logic of "you said X five years ago, so you can't say Y now," of "your actions don't perfectly match your words, so your words are invalid." The Fallacy of Perfect Consistency is beloved of those who want to dismiss opponents without engaging their current arguments, who would rather dig up old contradictions than address present claims. The cure is recognizing that consistency is not a binary state but a spectrum, and that growth, learning, and context all produce apparent contradictions that are actually signs of life.
Example: "He found a tweet she'd written ten years ago, before she'd studied the issue, before she'd changed her mind. 'Aha!' he declared. 'Inconsistency! Your current views are invalid!' The Fallacy of Perfect Consistency had done its work: avoiding engagement with her current arguments by appealing to her past self. She'd learned, grown, evolved—but to him, that was weakness, not strength."
