I’m not sure what you feel I should learn about metaphor. You’re not being direct. If I made a mistake just tell me what it is and I’ll fix it and think/say something like “thank you, I didn’t know that.” I would appreciate learning something and would definitely want to fix my mistake so that no one would be negatively affected by the possible misinformation of it. 

This sounds really familiar. Where have I heard it before? Oh, right:

can a [woman/POC/etc] explain to me how i’m being [sexist/racist/etc.] because the burden of my learning is actually on the [woman/POC/etc.]
