Reproductive euphemism

A: What did you say..?

B: …euphemism.

A: What’s a «euphemism»?

B: When reality is cruel, and you try to hide it using softer words.

A: Like how?

B: You know when you invent a «right to kill off your offspring» and name it «reproductive right».

A: Ehh, okay?

B: Well, that’s it.

How much better wouldn’t our society be if logos were more appreciated than pathos?
