  • I don't understand how the fact she never said "body hair is good" does not matter when the very definition of "appeal to nature" requires it: "a thing is good because it is 'natural'".

    I think tautology can be a form of begging the question if it is used as a means of proving a statement. Nevertheless I agree calling it a begging the question is better because that is the actual fallacy I was trying to get at.

  • She doesn't need to be proving that leg hair is good or healthy to do a logical fallacy

    She does need to be doing that if you want the logical fallacy to be "appeal to nature fallacy".

    that's not saying the same thing twice

    Tatutology is when two seemingly different statements carry the same information. The two different statements in "They are supposed to be there because that is where they naturally are" don't actually say anything much different. If "naturally" was to be replaced with "normally", then it would be a complete tautology but I only said a bit of tautology because "naturally" contains more information than "supposed to". But the whole point of my argument is that I think she is using naturally in lieu of "normally" rather than as a precursor for healthy or good.

  • Surely you need to be living in a cave to not see the asymmetry there though. On men facial hair is unattractive for half of women and very attractive for other (making up the stats). On women leg hair is perceived as unattractive for all but most people.

    A man which has a stubble, when going out, does not generally think "shit I should shave otherwise everyone will look at me with disdain". While a women going to swimming but realizes that she has not shaved her legs will generally feel ashamed thinking she will be seen as "not taking care of herself".

  • where you assert something is good

    She is not trying to prove hair leg is good or healthy because they are natural. If anything I would say she is doing a bit of tautology because her argument is along the lines of "they are supposed to be there because there is where they normally are"

    It has nothing to do with the inherent goodness of women,

    What I said had nothing to do with inherent goodness of women. My argument is that she is not trying to state body hair is inherently good and beneficial because of their naturality.

    If it was appeal to nature, would expect something along the lines of "Why do they naturally grow there if it wasn't good for women"

  • I don't think there is any country of substantial power that hasn't performed some sort of atrocities en masse. That is why they need the "we are a great and proud nation" rhetoric to justify all these crimes.

  • I mean not necessarily appeal to nature because the woman does not try to prove that body hair on women are inherently good. She just points out that "not supposed to be there" is as meaningless as saying "your head shouldn't be on your shoulders". The rest is personal choice (that is if you can disregard the immense societal pressure).

  • She has also stated elsewhere that she is surprised by the sexism that exists in the Republician party. I wouldn't necessarily trust her mental faculties.
