Slippery Slope Arguments
The Slippery Slope argument is a popular one among fundamentalists. It goes something like this…
If a woman wears culottes that are only to the knee instead of to the ankle then she will inevitably begin wearing pants. This will in turn lead to wearing shorts which will lead to mixed bathing which will lead to dancing in night clubs and then on to drug addiction. This will drive her straight into prostitution which will lead to to armed robbery, prison time, terrorism, mass suicide, and and finally becoming a Southern Baptist.
So keep those culottes to your ankles, or else!!
