The problem, Slims, is that you aren't quite comparing on the same level. It would be like saying to one of your co-workers: "Regarding your marrying a black. That's just wrong" or "Regarding you working here: The workplace isn't for women. You should be at home for your husband and kids."

These other issues used to be against the norm too, but they were similarly wrong to judge in such ways.
