Alicorn is offended by a certain problem she perceives (objectification of women).

SilasBerta is also offended by a problem - silencing of discussions on a problem unrelated to Alicorn's problem, but discussions on which happen to possibly include objectifications of some sort.

I don't see why both shouldn't be on an equal standing.

I think there may be a typo in there somewhere.

I am not trying to downplay SilasBerta's feeling offended, and it is very possible that SilasBerta's offense and Alicorn's offense are about the same topic from different sides. If that is the case than my comment is probably out of place.
