What the title says really. I have compared some facets of sexism to racism before (on a different forum) and have been shouted down with disgust as the two are not comparable and it is offensive to compare them at all. Do you agree?
I happened to be thinking about weddings and the giving away of the bride and comparing it to slavery of black people back in the day as it is akin to owning people. Was I morally wrong?
