CMV: It's dishonest when feminists respond to criticism of feminism with "It's just the belief that women are equal" +
+ I'll preface this with saying that I'm a guy and I consider myself extremely feminist and would disagree with the criticisms for feminism for other reasons. I think it's clear that modern feminism ... | malleable | You're a semantic analyst. Judging from the opinion statement, do you think he/she is resistant or malleable to persuasion? |
CMV: External validation matters a lot. +
+ The idea that the only one you have to please is yourself is not conducive to real word results.
I could think I'm really attractive but get no dates. I could think I'm really likeable but have no friends. I could think my skills are very valuable yet make very little mo... | resistant | You're a semantic analyst.

CMV:'Rights' are not a real thing. They only exist as much as the state allows. Talking about (or legislating) 'Rights' without mentioning 'responsibilities and 'limits' encourages faulty, destructive thinking. +
+ People talk about 'natural' or 'God-given rights', but all rights can be taken from you. If rights like... | malleable | You're a semantic analyst. Judging from the opinion statement, do you think he/she is resistant or malleable to persuasion? |
CMV: I don't think Jesus was an actual, historical person. +
+ Right now there is almost an unanimous consensus among scholars that Jesus was a real human being. They even go as far as comparing the Christ myth theory to the Moon Landing conspiracy theories and Holocaust deniers. I think their confidence is unwarrant... | malleable | You're a semantic analyst. Judging from the opinion statement, do you think he/she is resistant or malleable to persuasion? |
CMV: To discourage illegal immigration, a child born in the USA should only receive birthright citizenship if the parents of that child can prove they are citizens or legal residents (but not legal visitors!) of the USA. +

CMV:nothing matters and everything is pointless. +
+ I just dont think anything matters at all. And anyone who thinks anything does matter is probly delusional. I want my view to change because its probly not good to think this way but i havent seen anything that would show anything different than everything being po... | resistant | You're a semantic analyst.

CMV: Day drinking is optimal. +
+ I will preface by saying, I am referring to the benefits of being drunk in itself. Being drunk generally feels good. However, alcohol consumption to the point of feeling drunk has negative health effects.
Getting drunk at night, assuming a normal sleep schedule, typically entails f... | resistant | You're a semantic analyst. Judging from the opinion statement, do you think he/she is resistant or malleable to persuasion? |
CMV: WIC money should instead be spent on providing free abortions to low income women +
+ I like making lists to discuss points, so here goes:
1) Women who need a program like WIC are not in a financial position to raise a baby
2) An abortion would be cheaper than 18+ years of food stamps and Medicaid
3) I ackno... | resistant | You're a semantic analyst. Judging from the opinion statement, do you think he/she is resistant or malleable to persuasion? |
CMV: The theory of evolution is accurate, and the whole field of biology is dependent on it. +
+ Evolution through descent with modification caused by the methods of natural selection, sexual selection, kin-selection, artificial selection, and genetic drift is undeniable.

CMV: A refrigerator should be a required condition of habitability, not just an amenity. +

I'm from Detroit - where every single apartment I viewed had a fridge included. Th... | resistant | You're a semantic analyst.

CMV: I believe that psychedelics are a not a tool for self-improvement, but rather a way to buy into our own delusions. +

I have buyed into the movement that got accelerated by people l... | resistant | You're a semantic analyst.

CMV: There is nothing wrong with animal testing +
+ So let me start off by acknowledging that I know absolutely nothing about this issue, about its history, or about the debate surrounding it. My only exposure is seeing bottles that say "not tested on animals" and the hippy kids at school with stickers and posters sa... | resistant | You're a semantic analyst.

CMV: If people fully understood games in the vein of Dungeons & Dragons, they would be much more mainstream +
+ D&D, while it's managed to achieve pretty good cultural penetration (i.e. lots of people know what it is), tends to get a pretty bad rap.

CMV: Hitler was a terrible leader. +
+ Often when Hitler or Nazi Germany is brought up on reddit you'll see a comment along the lines of 'Sure Hitler was evil, but you gotta admit he was a good leader' or something along those lines with the idea being that Hitler was a pretty sharp leader who pulled Germany out of a... | resistant | You're a semantic analyst.

CMV: r/changemyview is essentially "Teach me How to Groupthink". +

However, I can't seem to shake feeling that many of the posts here stem from people's discomfort with their own nonconformity and outlying ideas more than from a thirst for tru... | malleable | You're a semantic analyst.

CMV: It is neither derogatory nor a promotion of sexual assault when heterosexual males express their desire to have sex with females. +

CMV: Modern feminism is hypocritical and flawed +

I absolutely do not mean to say that one is better than the other, only that there are fundamental physiological differences between men and women that feminists appear to disregard. Now, in my opinion feminis... | malleable | You're a semantic analyst. Judging from the opinion statement, do you think he/she is resistant or malleable to persuasion? |
