A fallacious attack on Sorenson
Margarita Garrity-Anderson’s interpretation (letters, May 25) of Pete Sorenson’s letter (May 17) relies on a straw man fallacy — that is, when a person simply ignores another’s actual position and substitutes a distorted, exaggerated, misrepresented view of that position. Sorenson’s original statement seeks to protect a minority community.
Anyone acquainted with his work knows that Sorenson speaks up on behalf of vulnerable groups and individuals and strives toward fairness in community. His dedication to empowering women and his leadership on issues of importance to women — such as peace, crime prevention, funding social services and education, promoting sustainable agriculture and transportation —is consistent and appreciated.
If Garrity-Anderson is actually troubled by cults or religions in relation to women, she will find more appropriate outlets for her concern.
