Why Do Some Take Such Offense...

[biblemonkey]

Biblemonkey - if you don't want a flame-war, give up drive-by sniping. You made a mistake in your terminology, my post was to illuminate you.

This whole thread is about semantics - the meaning of words. I would suggest that many of the posters could do with buying a good dictionary.

I have not seen one post where the poster is saying that anyone is less of a man for wearing a kilt. There are those who are intent on taking offence where none has been implied or intended. If people are so upset that their wearing of the kilt could be interpreted as being effeminate, well maybe they should give up wearing it.They would save themselves a lot of stress.

PM on it's way

In the mean time, the OP asked why some take offense to the term "skirt". I answered that question and never once did I call insult to anyone. I hope this addresses the situation and that we can let the twisting of one another's words go the way of the dodo.
