Yes indeed they would be offensive, but "women" refers to half the human
race and "blacks" is an unimportant term about the amount of pigment in the
skin; "socialists" on the other hand is about the way a person acts and I
feel perfectly justified in condemning or praising a person because of that,
indeed I think that is the only criteria it is justified to do so.
