I’ve been asked to answer and respond to the question “How is she arguing her postion?” after reading “Boys Here, Girls There: Sure, If Equality’s the Goal” by Karen Stabiner and I’ve come to the conclusion that she is using reasoned arguing. The author presents her argument from a factual and scientifically based perspective, almost throwing ethics and typical social ideology out the window. She gives room and accounts for counterexamples, but her argument is deductive and valid, consistently providing evidence against the counterexamples. Her position is concise and clear with brief and true evidence and her argument does not beg the question by answering itself with the same problem. Stabiner provides dates and figures which accredit her argument greatly and I believe she does a good job at proving her point and making herself heard.
