Saying that "most girls love money", does this statement discriminate against female? What's your opinion?
If I define that: 1. LOVE = desire to obtain something which is valuable. 2. Money = something precious Is my statement biased against women?
Money is a tool, use it correctly and it can bring happiness but use it unwisely and you'll end up in poverty or worse , dead.
Well, it might not be a true statement, though I think the problem is mostly the word "most". "Some" might be more accurate. And why single out girls? Why not say "most people love money"? Or do you think it would be fair to say "most men love money"? And why "girls"? Do you mean to include older women in your statement as well? Your statement discriminates in that it doesn't mention men, or pandas or aliens, but that's not the kind of discrimination that people usually find offensive. If you had said something like "Most girls only love money", then you'd be making a generalisation that many would probably find offensive.
Almost all billionaires are men. Almost all millionaires are men. Almost all CEO. CFO and COO's are men. So that would say that your assumption is incorrect for it is men who have the most money so they must love having is more than women do.
In what context would you say this and not "most people love money" ? Why "girls" and not "women" ? What age group are you talking about? Money is the power to make decisions and take action, without it people are powerless to take action on the question of if they wish to buy something (a house, new clothes, a large meal for their friends). Often people without money are powerless to decide if they wish to do something (travel to Hawaii, enjoy a nightclub, invite Patrick Stewart to officiate a wedding "make it so!"). So what is the opposite of "most girls love money"? Is it "most girls want their lives controlled by others?" If Sally, a co-worker or other acquaintance known to your audience, marries someone noted for being rich, suggesting she did so for love of money is offensive even in gender-neutral terms. The socially correct thing to do is to express congratulations and hopes for her future happiness with her spouse.
It's easier to discern motivation when somebody is getting out of a marriage than when they are getting in.
Just political corrections gone mad. Anyway I thought love diamonds...which anyway do cost a lot of money!
