Telling Use of Language --- Hello Fatherhood, Goodbye Abs
This was the name of an article recently in GQ magazine which talked about the high number of men who stop working out after they have had a child. The article is actually very interesting and well written but I felt that the title was rather assuming and somewhat offensive to the fathers who do maintain their exercise regimen after the birth of their child and even more deeply concerning that somehow fatherhood contributes to poor physical health. Before I actually read the article I felt somewhat offended because I thought it was going to be an article about fatherhood is bad for you physically because you want have time to be healthy so you should stay away from it. That is not at all what the article promoted but the title was very slanted and made me feel ill tempered.
