Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This argument represents the fallacy of argument from adverse consequences, which assumes that a particular claim is false because of the negative consequences of accepting it. In this case, Gina argues that acknowledging potential psychological differences between men and women would lead sexist people to feel justified in their prejudiced beliefs and actions. However, this does not necessarily mean that there are no such differences, and using adverse consequences as a basis for argumentation is fallacious.
