Slippery Slope
Slippery Slope is a common fallacy that has its own momentum, often based on fear. Arguments that declare how if A happens, then Z will happen are self-defining, weak thru unproven assuming, and often articulating a dreaded result far from likely.
For example since, oh, let's say always, many dopey backward men thought that recognizing women's rights would be a slippery slope towards female dominance. Of course, some slippery slopes may be true. 😎
