16. That's a really contemptable rhetorical move.

Objecting to slut-shaming is not the same thing as supporting the person being slut-shamed.

If she lied, prove she lied. That's all you need to do to discredit her and win.

Posting naked pictures of her doesn't prove she lied. It just undermines us when we call the right-wing out on slut shaming. And it makes us look ignorant, petty and sexist.

We don't need to be any of those things to win so again, why even go there?
