Blogger Melissa Edgington is noticing a trend in Christian circles, especially among Christian women on the internet. Before saying something harsh, self-righteous, or preachy, women will sometimes use the word “gently.” As in “Gently, you’re absolutely delusional.” “Gently, you should completely reevaluate who you are as a person.” “Gently, you’re what’s wrong with the world.” Melissa says it’s the equivalent of standing toe-to-toe with someone and saying the word “gently” before slapping them in the face. Maybe you’ve noticed this trend, too.
