But...saying that something is more honorable than something else is comparing them?
EDIT: to be clear, her point is absolutely valid. This isn't (to misquote a replier) "But I must find way for sex lady be dumb". Her actual point is spot-on. This particular linguistic evolution just feels weird to me - feels like the new "literally".
They don't mean "I'm not making a comparison, but "There is no comparison to be made, one of these things is clearly better"
But I must find way for sex lady be dumb
"equate" is the correct word but we still knew what they meant.

It means to make a connection, not a comparison. Your connecting the concept of comparison to the concept of equating is equating however.
