If it was swapping one discriminated group for another (ie, disabled for black) then I could see it as that sort of comparison. But the specific structure of the text in this pic sounds more akin to “imagine a world where white people were the slaves.” I hear an implied, wistful “if only….” at the end.
The image smacks of I don’t want to suffer, I want the other side to suffer.
I’m sure it’s not your intent, but it’s also implying that the average person agrees with “dad is baby sitting while mom is parenting.” And I’d say that statement alone would get the average person’s back up.

I respect that although I see it differently ❤️
