"Just to play Devil's Advocate-"
No. The Devil has too many advocates. The Devil has an absolutely enormous legal team that is already annoying me into exhaustion with pointless motions.
You think I have the extra energy to argue with a point you don't even believe? Stop it.

Fetishization of argument for argument's sake is so emotionally draining to people who constantly find themselves in the position of defending their/other's dignity and humanity. For example, I already ACTUALLY have to argue iterations of "women are equal" in real life. A lot.
You want to make me do it AGAIN when you don't even actually believe your point. What is a fun academic exercise for you is mentally and emotionally exhausting for me. You want to make me do all this work and then hide behind the defense that you don't really think this.
"I'm not debating this" is a complete answer. I'm a lawyer. I am extremely familiar with having hard conversations and arguing difficult subjects. If I decide some personal things are non-starters for me, that's it. I don't owe you a debate for your amusement.
