What is the fallacy here?I posted on social media a reply to someone's post (paraphrasing ahead). They said something like "selfish men are a problem". I replied with "so are selfish women." A third person responded to me saying something like "So you've been 'victimized' by being told no before?" I'm a man who's neither asked a woman nor been asked out (nor have I attempted sex nor has one attempted sex with me), so haven't even had that opportunity in any way. I said they were strawmanning, but they said they weren't, so I asked them what they thought because that certainly wasn't truthful. They haven't responded to that. Was the strawman fallacy present here or was another one used? Was there no fallacy?

As you start to list properties that the animal lacks to justify eating them, you begin to realize that some humans also lack those properties, yet we don’t eat those humans. Is this logical proof that killing and eating animals for food is immoral? Don’t put away your steak knife just yet.
In Eat Meat… Or Don’t, we examine the moral arguments for and against eating meat with both philosophical and scientific rigor. This book is not about pushing some ideological agenda; it’s ultimately a book about critical thinking.

It sounded as if they rephrased your argument to one that you didn't make. Classic strawman.

Joseph church is a great place to find a woman. I've heard that some even go on Wednesday as well as Sunday. That's twice the chances of finding a good woman. Disclaimer...(This answer is not to be dissected in regards to possible fallacious reasoning it is merely a suggestion)
