    Yes, women having bodily autonomy being an “incendiary argument” is definitely one of the many problems of the patriarchy.

      Nice strawman. Hah.

      Nah, to those convinced otherwise, that argument reads like “let them kill babies!”, and they don’t like it.

      So if that’s the only argument you’ve got… I imagine it’s proving worse than ineffectual to some mindsets, and triggering them to double down harder, dig their heels in deeper, further into groupthink, further towards that terrorised totalitarianised psyche, doubtless joining with others similarly so, perhaps even citing your argument to further bolster their tribal cohesion contrast to those monsters who want to kill babies, strengthening their fervour against the baby killing threat they perceive. … Where any and all atrocities are seen as necessary virtues. … And it only gets worse, unchallenged. And so, challenge it wisely we must. Because merely aggravating them with words they hear differently to how such mantras and mottos sound among your own groupthinking tribe, is not the kind of challenge that helps alleviate them from their mental stupor. Wise to be aware of the psychology, not just for how to approach those in groupthink, but also, to catch ourselves, from becoming opposames, exorcising groupthink from ourselves as soon as we find it lurking. One does not realise when one is in groupthink, but there are still clues.
