More importantly, though, Gender divides do not even approach the magnitude problems that arise from Racial and Ethnic divisions. While it's possible to take away one gender's rights and freedoms in subservience to the other, the two genders have and will always comprise one people that they both belong to, incapable of existing without the other at any large scale. On the other hand, racial divides can and have lead to a sort of segregation that divides peoples and historically they have attempted to eradicate each other on many occasions. Sure, a product of the past you might try to argue, but a wound that lingers and festers in a way that makes silly gender disputes look cute.

EDIT: Hang on, were they talking about LGBTQ slurs when they said "Sexuality Based"? I can see how being called a fag might upset somebody back in Vietnam, but I think most people actually use it as a term of endearment these days? It's at least no more insulting than Retard is.
