Q: What did the philosopher say about men’s arguments?
A: “Clearly, this is a phallacy!”
It’s not every day that debates over power, aggression, and war make us laugh. But sometimes, looking at the flawed ideals behind certain actions can be eye-opening. When you see an overly macho argument break out, you might just be witnessing a “phallacy”—the mistaken belief that aggression and dominance are the way to win. Unfortunately, these phallacies can fuel conflict all around the globe.
