did the years of defending characters who were women and girls give you good pre-law school practice?

lmao this is funny on multiple levels but i'll take it seriously for one second, as i do.

if i'm honest, law school involves far less debate than one would think, at least in the country where i'm from. a very common refrain i would hear from people not in law is, "it must be so cool finding, like, loopholes in the law and figuring out how to get away with things," and that's a similar type of misconception - there are very few loopholes actually to be found and the ones that are there are typically widely known, used and abused (think mostly taxes & rich people)

but i will say, while i've been just... raised as a fairly argumentative person (in my family, discussion is everything, nothing was off-limits subject-wise) i can't lie, tumblr has affected my way of argument and dealing with people in a myriad of ways.

i pretty much always hold a lot of unpopular opinions (in the sense of liking a lot of characters/ships that don't get a ton of attention) and i've followed a bunch of people who both write and reblog some really smart stuff about media analysis that i do think has helped me and often posts will include explanations of bigger phenomena and THAT i can actually use in law.

like... a strawman argument, circular reasoning, affirmative action etc and so on... those are things you can encounter on tumblr a lot and see refuted/expanded on on tumblr pretty effectively (when you follow the right people) and smartly and i have actually used that in my studies, lmao.

that, and yes, sometimes defending women does feel like you're trying to address each individual point like you're typing up an airtight legal argument.

i don’t watch pluribus so your posts about rats and the rat hive without co text have been cracking me up

honestly, they would only make slightly more sense if you HAD watched the show but i have been thinking about it the whole day
