I would never compare, being a sex worker is obviously incredibly more honorable
But…saying that something is more honorable than something else is comparing them?
EDIT: to be clear, her point is absolutely valid. This isn’t (to misquote a replier) “But I must find way for sex lady be dumb”. Her actual point is spot-on. This particular linguistic evolution just feels weird to me - feels like the new “literally”.
Its called an analogy bud. It doesn’t mean the two things are identical, it means they share similarities. Usually, a specific one. In this case, “selling your body”.

They don’t mean "I’m not making a comparison, but “There is no comparison to be made, one of these things is clearly better”

“equate” is the correct word but we still knew what they meant.
Just being a pedant, but equating two things is still a comparison.
It means to make a connection, not a comparison. Your connecting the concept of comparison to the concept of equating is equating however.

I posted it and it won’t load on my end haha.
It’s a slow clap.
Besides it being a joke, fuck the troops. Fuck the troops. Fuck the troops. Fuck the troops.
That’s all that matters about what they said
