Example:

Me: I think I enjoy Spaghetti more than I like Steak

You: “WTF you must be a Vegetarian then! How can you say you hate steak?!”

That’s the strawman. I never said I was a vegetarian, nor that I hated steak. I simply stated I enjoy Spaghetti more than Steak, and you twisted my words into saying that I don’t eat meat.
