Thread:User talk:WaitingforGodot/I like you, Godot, but I'm going to have to call bullshit on that/reply (23)

I argue only for as much precision and information as possible when referring to something. Lumping things under the same label is fine, so long as you don't then go making massive deductive leaps that only apply to sub-label A and not to sub-label B. Particularly when it comes to mens rea, as I think you'd agree that this would be different in the two cases you outlined above.

Also, see things like the COPINE scale, as I think one would do a massive disservice to victims to try and lump COPINE 1 with COPINE 10 (indeed, it's hard to say that there are "victims" in the case of COPINE 1 as the sexualised nature is inferred from external context).

As for what oppression and discrimination is "worse", I suppose it depends if you're on the receiving end of it or not.
