We believe that this clip with Russian MP Zhuravlyov comparing #MeToo movement to repressive Soviet totalitarianism should be in every guide on logical fallacies as an illustration to the “Strawman argument”.
In reality its Putin’s Russia that can merit a comparison to the Soviet system, especially as they use conspiracy theories and fearmongering to describe a movement, which combats sexual harassment and rape culture, as coercive in order to continue large-scale violations of women’s rights in the country.
