Logic... maybe not

There is a delightful line of reasoning passing around Fet at the moment that goes something like this...
If you are unhappy you can leave. You won't know that until you are unhappy 'cos at the moment you are happy.
Um... is this a good time to point out that no one is happy all the time? In fact some people experience misery, both the small and the large kind, on a daily basis. Despite this lack of unrelenting happiness there they still are, for that matter here we still are, in those relationships.

So either there is something very wrong with us... a distinct possibility though generally those who have issues are the last to realise it...
Or there is something very wrong with the logic.
From this vantage point down the hole one has to say...
It's the logic.

But then what would one know, poor deluded, irrational and dysfunctional being that one is... flutters eyelashes while flopping around helplessly...

What?

No takers?

The problem as I see it is that the people making those arguments don't grant slaves (women, usually) agency. Someone who has no agency can't know if they are happy or not because they aren't competent to decide. That is why I find the whole argument insulting.
