Words matter. I was reminded of this when I said something that came out wrong, and sounded gender biased against women. And yes I’m a woman.
Today with the hostility being portrayed in all forms of media. words couldn’t matter more.
Your mission, if you choose to accept it: Make a list of all of the divisive words that offend you. Now make a list of the words that you use and believe in. For instance, are you pro life or pro choice? Once you have your two lists, find and circle words you can accept within your “divisive” list. Is there common ground?
Be kind. Be safe. Be appropriate. Now go!
