    Is that what the phrase normally means? Or is that just the most commonly held opinion by those offended by it?

    The basis of the phrase only seems to mean that something is happening to someone who would normally be doing it to others. It offers no justification at all. Except perhaps poetically.

      There’s also a difference between saying “getting a taste” and “getting a taste of your own…”.

      One is just saying that you are experiencing what others have experienced, which is what she said.

      The other is putting forward an accusation which she is obviously not doing in that statement.

        Yes, but they are quite close phrases, so it’s not a huge leap for someone to make, in earnest. I assume an easier leap for concern trolls.
