      Thank you.

      All landlords are parasites. All women are parasites.

      One is rather true, in a metaphorical way. The other is a sexist, misogynistic slur.

      I’m never quite convinced by this equivalence argument.

      No, it’s not an equivalence argument. I didn’t say they were equally wrong or the same thing. Also, nether power dynamics nor oppression make those things right.

      You’re telling me that you see no problem with black people saying the same about all white people then?

          But I didn’t manufacture that and neither did you. It also, intentionally, ignores every single other intersection a white person could have.

          Don’t worry, the sentiment invalidates itself. That kind of backwards bougouise feminism died in the 80s and should’ve stayed that way.
