Flogging a dead horse is intersectionally: violent - an act of beating ableist - presuming an actor who is physically capable of flogging sadistic - the flogging may have killed the horse performative - the act of horsewhipping is primarily to be observed. not by the horse. historical - horses are no longer widespread workers. English - this particular local idiom does not translate well internationally. Artistic - see the Chapman brothers. equestrian - see the horse. speciesist - why, in particular, a horse? targetive - again, the horse. exclusionary - see ableist, speciesist and English. praxis - for too long, this has been accepted. pointless - it's a dead horse. this tired metaphor is clearly legacy offensive terminology that should be forbidden and placed on some sort of prohibited list.
