Yes both are fruit but both are completely different, just like sexism and racism.
And you can word a sentence anyway and make it sound racist or sexist it all depends on the race/sex of the person saying it or reading it.
All of my wat.
Racism and sexism are both discriminations.
Why do black people get offended by being called "niggers"? Social stigma and the degrading history of the word.
Women would also get offended by sexist slur because of their history associated with being the oppressed gender. There's also, of course, social stigma.
Both had to struggle with equality and have become successful. To say that feminists are just looking for things to bitch about is simply being unfair.
In these modern times, however, I think it is simply bad faith to be personally offended by any little thing depicted in fictional media, like a lot of feminists do these days, which is where I can see the "moaners just bitching" thing is coming from. If it personally affects you, however, that's a different story. Just my two cents.
