"You see son, the definition of offend is: cause to feel upset, annoyed, resentful...even if that wasn't your intention. Typically the result of a 'perceived' insult. You might have merely violated the person's sense of what is proper or fitting". "But dad, I feel all those ways when people get offended for things that I don't find offensive...and when they tell me I can't speak or I have to be sorry for speaking my thoughts and feelings, as if they don't matter... 'I' feel like my sense of what is right and proper is being violated?"
