OK. So the analogy starts out with your presupposition that I used a racist word to start with.
But that is not the case here. We presuppose nothing - we have not agreed that "hysterical" is sexist before beginning discussion. But that's what your above explanation of the analogy says.
You are
attempting to convince me that the word is sexist. Presupposing it is sexist from the beginning renders the whole convincing thing moot.
I am not being deliberately obtuse. I am methodically responding to your points with logic, one after the other. You apparently do not like that I don't immediately jump on board with everything you proclaim. That does not make me obtuse. But I can see how it might frustrate you.
