Grammar
Syntax/Commas
Hello,
In the following sentence, I contend that the subject (I) states that he is a feminist. Further, at the end of the sentence, there is a misuse of a comma before the word "there" as well as an unnecessary word (there). Further, the word "so" at the beginning is also uneccessary, as there is no clause before it. My friend disagrees. Who is correct?
"So, even as a feminist, I can DEFINITELY see her logic, there."
PS: This is all to help someone learn English writing skills--I am volunteering my time to tutor him. Thank you for your kind attention.
Regards,
Mark

The initial so doesn't bother me. The final there doesn't bother me. I take it to mean in that argument or in that pattern of reasoning , obviously referring to something that appeared earlier in the test.

In the following sentence, I contend that the subject (I) states that he is a feminist. Yes, so do I. Introductory modifiers like this are assumed to modify the subject of the sentence.
