This bears quite the similarity to a comment made by Margaret Thatcher in an interview in 1986:
In my work, you get used to criticisms. Of course you do, because there are a lot of people trying to get you down, but I always cheer up immensely if one is particularly wounding because I think well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left. That is why my father always taught me: never worry about anyone who attacks you personally; it means their arguments carry no weight and they know it.
This girl has proven that emotional appeals get way more traction in a movement than logical appeals.
I don’t even disagree with her message, but it’s sad that the best thought out idea is rarely the winner unless it’s also presented in the most convincing emotional terms.
