"Women & girls treated as slaves" Indigenous, migrant & refugee women who had/have no freedom, denied wages, sold as property? Not the same

Of course it's not the same. That's why I used the word akin. Admire what you're doing. Life-saving work. We can't forget history.

1/2 When men make sexist statements, as feminists we speak out, @TraceySpicer. Damage requires reflection & apology, not doubling down.

2/2 Same goes staments that repeat damage of racism. Good time to consider why it's inappropriate to use slavery outside its proper context.
