A Word You Will Hear From Snowflakes: ‘Offended’

I found it interesting. The other day I was talking with a twenty-something woman about people being polite and actually doing what they said they would do. She said my opinion ‘Offended’ her. Maybe I live a protected life but this is the first time I have encountered this. The ‘Offended’ line was used as a cudgel to make me silent. You see most of us old-timers don’t want to cause offense. But this time the charge was ludicrous. Instead of being silent I reiterated my earlier comment. Since then I have thought of more possible responses. Things like, “Oh, you’re a snowflake. I don’t want to talk to snowflakes”.
