Yes. The word aberrant - when used correctly - "fits" ... the disagreement comes when somebody (you) tries to redefine the word as something negative.

Actually I leave the redefining up to you. I'm just good at contextualizing.
Must be working.

contextualizing is not redefining words

What is it then?
Obviously you understood what I meant based on the context of a word that is used correctly in the sentence. So what does context mean to you? Oh Definition Master.

Even "bigots" are entitled to their opinions.

I apologize for my original post. I must have been having a bad day. Not fair to you guys to bring it here.

"Homophobia" is a bullshit homemade word to kiss gay people's ass. "Homophobia" is the same abhorrent feeling you get when you hear about a case of incest or zoophilia. And many of the same reasons apply to feel that way about each deviation.
Okay, who made up that word "homophobia", FX? I don't it was Rush Limbaugh's homemade word when I heard him first utter that word about 20 years ago.

We've covered that here before...
homophobia < definition < eclectic content -
There's a link that covers it pretty well.

The actual percentage of miscarriages is estimated to be as high as 50% of all pregnancies, since many miscarriages occur without the woman ever having known she was pregnant.
1. Miscarriage has nothing to do with marriage.
2. Women don't choose to miscarry, but they do choose to divorce.

I don't see your point.
