28. I agree with you, though I'm not sure your arguments would persuade...
those who don't already agree with you. For instance:

Today, I simply want to say that all one has to do is look at the battle over reproductive rights. WHO is making the laws about women's bodies? men, for the most part. WHO truly runs the anti-choice groups, such as operation rescue? men, for the most part. WHO are the clinic bombers and murderers of clinic workers and doctors? men. WHO runs the religious groups that are so vehemently anti-choice? men.

This strikes me as a sort of circumstantial ad hominem. Just because men are doing these things doesn't necessarily make them (the men or the things that they are doing).
