Wow. I am... surprised, I think. I didn't read it as nearly that bad, or at least thought it would be softened by the context of coming from me. No slur intended. Well, that's why I asked, and I appreciate your answer.

BTW I deliberately didn't make a contrast between "breeder" and "worker". That's not OK in my book. That slur is all about the implications of the contrast. My intent was to distinguish between parents and not-parents.
