That's a poor comparison and I think most people understand that, even if the current environment discourages them from admitting it.

Why do you think that it's a poor comparison?

there are more homeless men than women. So that's like targeting men to give free food and shelter because more men need it, which wouldn't happen.

i think you are trying to stretch the metaphor too far

its more accurate. targeting the underrepresented cohort.

no, you are applying the thing "metaphorised" inside the metaphor. it is quite wrongheaded tbh
