Wedding rings are symbols of power and oppression.
I just said that. If you disagree then that means wedding rings are a divisive issue. Since it's a divisive issue it should be banned.
You're using tautological logic here. Anything that's divisive is political, anyone declaring they disagree with anything makes something divisive, therefore anything people disagree over is political. Anything political should be banned. All power is given to those who decide what is political and what isn't because anything can be declared political.
Given we're in a culture where people will feign disagreement and argue in bad faith, the logical result is employers have absolute control over employees. Starting to feel really dystopian if we follow this kind of logic.
Honestly do you really think there is no intent behind the culture war strategy of declaring anything associated with minority groups to be "divisive" in an effort to have it banned? Who actually believes black lives don't matter? Should anyone try to appease that sort of person?
