Well it was more in the manner of a metaphor, but again, I may have overestimated my audience. There are clues to it being a metaphor, not least my having previously explained literally what I think feminism is, and my never having mentioned ducks, horses, eggs or legs in this thread prior to that metaphor (although I accept that all that would also have whooshed past anyone who declined to read what I had read…but chose to argue anyway. Isn’t the internet fun :))
And no, it wasn’t hard at all. Whoever suggested otherwise? I expect it would be silly for someone who takes a metaphor as literal to try to convince me of anything, but I’m still open to persuasion. If it’s not too hard…
