Why do you think that it's a poor comparison?

there are more homeless men than women. So that's like targeting men to give free food and shelter because more men need it, which wouldn't happen.

i think you are trying to stretch the metaphor too far

[GrayTextIsTruth]

its more accurate. targeting the underrepresented cohort.

no, you are applying the thing "metaphorised" inside the metaphor. it is quite wrongheaded tbh
