Critical Thinking Trivia

Mike tells Janet that her activism is inconsistent because while she regularly attends street protests against abortion, she doesn't make charitable donations to needy families. Janet defends herself. She denies that she is inconsistent and provides evidence for this by pointing out that Mike also advocates against abortion and yet he barely donated to charity himself last year. What fallacy has Janet committed?

The correct answer was Tu Quoque.

Janet committed a Tu Quoque, also known as a "you too" fallacy.
She defended herself by accusing her opponent of the same thing they were accusing her of.
Think about it: if Janet's defense above is right, that doesn't stop her from being inconsistent. It just makes Mike inconsistent too!
