21. the context was that everyone understood the photo was of an anamoly
and yet you insisted that the posting of it, and the wonderment that someone would actually own a hyena as a pet was culturally and racially insensitive. and certainly, in the context of the other post you mentioned, some people might be less offended by this. I'm not, even in context it's still an expression of sexism.

basically, if you are going to jump on the complaining about offensiveness bandwagon, expect ot be held to the same standard.
