Sentence/meaning

[Skimskambone]

Hello,

First, thanks for this forum. I'm a student and I look forward to learning & contributing.

I have a bet w/ someone about a sentence they wrote:

"So, even as a feminist, I can DEFINITELY see her logic, there."

For clarity in context, the woman he is referring to is not a feminist. He is referring to himself. Naturally, I began talking to him about feminism and referred to him as a feminist. He states he called himself no such thing and that I misunderstood his sentence. he says he meant that even if he was a feminist he could understand her logic. I responded that his sentence states he is a feminist & is therefore incorrectly written--and the segue to grammar & sentence construction began!

I say I do not misunderstand his sentence. He wrote it incorrectly. He should have written: "Even if I was a feminist, I could understand her logic." He insists I am incorrect & that I am reading it incorrectly & misunderstanding him, even after I explained why he is wrong. I further pointed out a comma error and he denies it is an improper use of a comma, not to mention using the word "there" is also a mistake (at the end of the sentence). We have a frivolous bet going just for fun :

If he is right I will call him god here and state he owns me & vice-versa. Thus the question: does this sentence state that the subject is a feminist? Why? Why not? He is rather pig-headed so a source would also be nice. Can you help me settle this bet & learn somehting in the process?

Thanks!

I agree with your reasoning. He definitely states in his text that he is a feminist.

Kitos.
