New page

The '''false dichotomy''' is frequently used in anti-child-sexuality posturing. Typically, a dilemma involving two irrelevant or unduly extreme possibilities is proposed. Much like a [[wrong question]], this helps to remove nuance from the argument and polarise the debate by making all opposition look extreme. False dichotomies should not be accepted as parameters of debate.

==Examples==

False dichotomies are frequently used in book and paper titles by alleged positivist scientists such as [[Stephanie Dallam]].

*''Science or Propaganda: An examination of Rind, Tromovitch & Bauserman (1998)'' - [[Stephanie Dallam]].
*''Sex between Men and Boys in Classical Greece: Was It Education for Citizenship or Child Abuse?'' - [[Enid Bloch]].
*''Homosexuality: Disease or Way of Life'' - Edmund Bergler.
*''One Thousand Homosexuals: Conspiracy of Silence, or Curing and Deglamorizing Homosexuals?'' - Edmund Bergler.
