'Strong' is offensive to weak people.'Athletic' is offensive to uncoordinated people. 'Educated' is offensive to scholastically disadvantaged people. Also, I dislike it when men are called 'smart', because it's a euphemism for 'acerbic and sharp personalities that no-one can get along with'. When people call men 'strong', they're really saying 'totalitarian task-master'. When a man is called 'athletic', people are really saying he's 'stupid and uneducated; at least he can run and catch a ball'. When men are called 'educated', people are really calling them 'pretentious know-it-alls'. |
