Editing Genetic fallacy (section)

==Examples==
<!-- Two examples are plenty, and we will only accept material that is sourced from a book (preferably a textbook) on logic. -->
From ''[[Attacking Faulty Reasoning]]'' by T. Edward Damer, Third Edition {{abbr|p.|page}}&nbsp;36:
{{quote|You're not going to wear a [[wedding ring]], are you? Don't you know that the wedding ring originally symbolized ankle chains worn by women to prevent them from running away from their husbands? I would not have thought you would be a party to such a sexist practice.}}

There are numerous motives explaining why people choose to wear wedding rings, but it would be a fallacy to presume those who continue the tradition are promoting sexism.

Another example would be from ''How to Win Every Argument: The Use and Abuse of Logic'' (2006) by Madsen Pirie, p. 82:

{{quote|The objections of the Council's new bus timetable come only from private property developers, and can be ignored.}}

As the author points out, private developers may well have legitimate and knowledgeable opinions on such a matter.
