- #26211:23:05upheld a speaker not yet confirmed psogos: false cause (+2)
The council upheld the call: a speaker not yet confirmed gave away 2 points.
“The numbers show that after second wave of feminism, women started having kids later in their life and society has followed and degradation…”
Diogenes: He ties later childbearing to "degradation" of society purely by sequence ("after second wave of feminism"), cites no numbers, and offers no link between the two beyond the order of events, then uses it to call a single woman over 30 a red flag.major: The causal story supports his whole case that late childbearing is a red flag, and rests on sequence alone.
- Aristotle uphold: On the record: S1 (the voice later heard as S22) opened by defending Islamic practice as obedience to God's command and has held since that men lead, women are subordinate and should listen; the called line applies that same view and does not depart from it. He claims a causal link: women having kids later, with "society has followed and degradation". The only support is sequence ("after second wave of feminism"). He cites no figures and gives no mechanism, though he says "the numbers show". He then uses the claim to call a single woman over 30 a red flag. All three elements of false cause are present.
- Socrates uphold: Read blind, found "false cause". S22 infers from a sequence (after second-wave feminism, later childbearing, then "degradation") that later motherhood is what degraded society. No figures are given and no mechanism is shown. He then uses the claim to support his view that a single woman over 30 is always a red flag.
- Plato uphold: On the record: S22 (the voice of S1) opened by saying he fasts because God prescribed it and has held that men lead and women submit; the called line is consistent with that stance, extending it to a claim about later childbearing and social decline. All three elements are met. He claims a causal link between later childbearing and societal "degradation". The only ground is sequence ("after second wave of feminism... society has followed"). Nothing else is offered for the cause: no numbers are cited and no mechanism is given. He then uses the claim to call a single woman over 30 a red flag.
