"Angry at Metaphors"

This was what my FB status the other day said.
Recoursing once more to travel, i.e. colonisation (for this is what the present exam is about, plus tourism and the paraphernalia), "white, middle-class and male" Europeans compared themselves with the natives "found" and decided they reflected the dawn of humanity.
Which is to say - the natives are LIKE what we used to be.
Nothing could be more false. The metaphor, or comparison, is such a falsity. Nothing, indeed, nothing is like anything else. It's of course nice that somebody is thinking and drawing parallel lines, but this ridicules the complexity.
Her lips are like a red rose. Give me a break.
