I'm wondering what definition of the word "offensive" you're using.
- edoceo 6y agoOffensive as Rude. Then @kn100 assigns to @bunnyfoofoo the offending behaviour. It's the personal responsibility thing. "I'm offended" vs "You're offensive".
- adamweld 6y agoI think it's pretty clear than the author believes he may have offended people with his statement, and is rephrasing in a more precise manner to avoid confusion.
- vczf 6y agoTo be very exact, being offended is a choice, in that nobody can offend you if you don't let them. You can always choose to not take offense. (The statement in question does seem rude and dismissive to me, however.)
- washadjeffmad 6y agoI believe the eminent feminist and humanitarian, Elanor Roosevelt, would have agreed with the fairness of your assessment. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/04/30/no-one-inferior/ https://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/04/30/no-one-inferior/
