Time to end this.
False Dilemma: When only two choices are presented yet more exist, or a spectrum of possible choices exists between two extremes. False dilemmas are usually characterized by “either this or that” language, but can also be characterized by omissions of choices.
Incase you're wondering, I got this definition from here: False Dilemma
Here are some of the things ChickenHawk said.
Let's break it down, the post was primarily about the ridicule, and insults that men receive by society growing up that have become somewhat of a norm. It mentions how men contributed to safety, comfort and our advancement and should be more appreciated.
To dumb it down further: Men helped society so women and society should be grateful and quit bashing them - that was ChickenHawk's reasoning.
I chimed in basically saying while that is true, they helped because they could help, implying women if in a similar position would also contribute to society and thus be equally deserving of appreciation.
"You claimed men did this and that and therefore should be appreciated more" means "You stated men contributed to safety, comfort and advancement(ChickenHawk's words) and thus are entitled to appreciation by women and society".
"Indirectly saying women did nothing" means "By claiming men are entitled to appreciation for their accomplishments, you unintentionally exclude women from receiving that same appreciation on the grounds of them not having achieved anything or atleast, not as much as men did, but men had a freedom they take for granted that women did not have and in the same position women would have contributed equally."
So in short(TLDR)
False Dilemma: When only two choices are presented yet more exist, or a spectrum of possible choices exists between two extremes. False dilemmas are usually characterized by “either this or that” language, but can also be characterized by omissions of choices.'
I didn't commit a false dilemma fallacy because there was only one way you could intepret ChickenHawk's post and that's what I did.
I believed those who read my post above would have enough common sense to understand my point but I was proven wrong in that regard.
