Offended: Choice or Condition? (Episode 100)

We made it 100 episodes!! For the 100th episode, Shaunna and Lisa dive deep into the feeling of being offended. They analyze both the reasons people may feel this emotion, as well as the linguistic roots of this word. Further, how is this word used in social justice circles?
