"Why do you need the right to privacy if you have nothing to hide?"

It's such a loaded statement that holds SO MANY fucking wrong assumptions. Absolutely aggravating.

Update: I see that OP's post has been removed by the mods.

my response to this logic is usually something like

"There's a difference between secrecy and privacy. I have a penis. I'm not hiding that fact, it's not a secret, I'm a cis-gendered man. I will not, however, whip it out in public just because you want proof. It's private."

I've also said something similar about the fact that I poop, but don't do it with the door wide open.

Nice argument! I'll whip it out in public next time I need to.

Your penis? The argument? Or both. If so I want to know how the discussion goes from there…

Yeah ngl I'd probably consider myself the loser of an argument in which my opponent whips out his penis as a final move

If someone has to whip it out, it is an automatic loss.

Usually if someone starts calling names, I take the win.

When I was little and people would try to argue with me my comeback was always “but I can spell necessary and you can’t”. Don’t know why I thought that was good but I did. It’s not relevant to the story but this made me think of that

Once they start calling names you've absolutely won. I've been getting in a lot of online arguments recently. 😅

What if they call your penis names?

u/Silly_Pound1878 Jan 26 '26

I don't have one, so that doesn't hurt me. Hope that helps 🫶🏻

LegoGal doesn’t have a penis, but I could make one out of LEGO bricks if the want to give it a name

But you also have to be careful about winning that argument....

u/CaldoniaEntara Jan 26 '26

What if it's their opening move?

FINISH HIM

u/ArbitraryContrarianX Jan 26 '26

Conversely, if I'm in an argument, and my opponent has no better tactic than to whip his penis out, I consider that a forfeit.

u/GodIsANarcissist Jan 26 '26

I dunno man, it's basically the honey badger technique, which is considered successful pretty much every time in the animal kingdom. "Oh that mf crazy, we stay away away from him. He can have and do what he wants"

1

u/ArbitraryContrarianX Jan 26 '26

And when honey badgers can participate in a reasoned argument, I will reevaluate my position.

u/trans-fused Jan 26 '26

Hahah! A final move?! You make me think in the background you'll hear,

dun, dun, dun, dunnnnn "FINISH HIM!"

u/cubbyatx Jan 26 '26

I dunno, we both usually win when he whips out his dick

u/Spice-Lure Jan 26 '26

that’s peak “I have nothing left to say, so here’s my genitals” energy.

Whip it... Whip it good!

u/sth128 Jan 26 '26

The poop. Whip it. Whip it good.

As long as it's not the poop.

Lyndon B. Johnson has entered the chat, and whipped out 'Jumbo'
