I would only call them insults because the targets of them took them as such. Not everyone would.

Karen, what per cent of the world population of women, or of American women, do you think would not feel it "deeply insulting" to be falsely characterized as having "let slip that [they were] into looking at sadistic porn." 1%? 2%? 3%? We must use our intuitions. I intuit that it's considerably less than 1%.

What is the intuition on which you based your bringing these women into the discussion, as though my reaction was perhaps atypical in our society? 20%? 50%? 70%?

Note that I "let slip" this fact, according to CH! So you could conclude that I am not among this group you have introduced into the conversation!

Sorry to have raised this after the discussion is (presumably) over; links were just sent to me, and I wanted clarity about certain matters.
