User_garyThe word 'lady' has connotations of refinement and excessive femininity that some women find offensive.



What does mean this sentence?

Please explain it with your own words.

Lady = feminine adult. Some people add the extra meaning and some women don't like the implicaiton. Th

refinement and excessive femininity = helplessness. That is why some women find it offensive.

I think :

Here (some women offensive) means (some women get angry)

Am I right? Please tell me.

Well, they might also feel angry about it, but they might not. They are offended by it.

I'm not keen on it (in some contexts) but it makes me feel irritated rather than angry.

I don't understand what exactly the above sentence you mean.

But I think you mean :

You are irritated by my question.

I apologise you if you are irritated by my question.

No I wasn't talking about your question, I was talking about the 'ladies' issue. Why would I be angry or irritated by your question? [:^)]

You think that offensive=makes people angry. I'm saying that isn't necessary true. This particular example of 'offensive' use of language makes me feel irritated rather than angry.
