Should a men not voice an opinion on women's issues?I had a conversation with a women about feminism. She said my opinions are irrelevant because "When I see a man pregnant then he can give his opinions on birth control and abortion,. Then I know he walked in a women's shoes." What's the fallacy in this argument?

Part one is about how science works even when the public thinks it doesn't. Part two will certainly ruffle some feathers by offering a reason- and science-based perspective on issues where political correctness has gone awry. Part three provides some data-driven advice for your health and well-being. Part four looks at human behavior and how we can better navigate our social worlds. In part five we put on our skeptical goggles and critically examine a few commonly-held beliefs. In the final section, we look at a few ways how we all can make the world a better place.

Identity fallacy. It's when the argument is dismissed based on the arguer's social class, race, gender, etc:
https://www.logicallyfallacious.com/tools/lp/Bo/LogicalFallacies/234/Identity-Fallacy<> That kind of logic can be taken to absurd conclusions. Should one be a dog to argue for animal rights? A cow to argue that killing animals for food is bad or acceptable? a moral philosopher or bioethicist with credentials and who is trained in their field has a far higher probability of underatanding gender-related and female-related ethical issues than a feminazi whose only credential is "knowing what it's like to be a woman." Here's an interesting article by Dr. Bo about common fallacies in the social justice movement: https://www.logicallyfallacious.com/tools/bg/Bo/LogicalFallacies/UqIFDDHA/Top-Five-Logical-Fallacies-in-the-Social-Justice-Movement<> |

Looks like a form of the appeal to authority argument
