This is all fine and dandy, but how is that an insult? The context, IIRC,
is that its an insult.
If I was in a heated exchange of belittling terms with someone and they
called me a "Non egg-laying mammal!", I think I would laugh at them rather
than grind my teeth and spit.
What aspect of being called "Breeder" makes it something that one does not
want to be called one? I really don't think I'd really care if metahumans
took up the habit of calling me (as a not metahuman), "breeder". I'd just
ignore it and go on with my life.
