Menninger observed a \u201csubstitution\u201d of the designation \u201csin\u201d by the designation \u201ccrime\u201d.<\/p>\n
From the approach of this blog, this \u201csubstitution\u201d is better described as an emergence, according to a nested formula: crime(sin()).<\/p>\n
This emergence most likely appeared before the turn of the 20th<\/sup> century, before the eclipse of the taboo against masturbation and the decline of use of the word \u201csin\u201d.<\/p>\n As of 1973, no substitute for the word \u201csin\u201d had entered the lexicon.\u00a0 The gap was filled with technical terms such as \u201cdeviancy\u201d as well as pejorative accusations such as \u201cracism\u201d and \u201csexism\u201d and \u201chomophobia\u201d.<\/p>\n As of 1993, the word \u201cpolitical incorrectness\u201d became an umbrella term labeling these technical terms and pejoratives.<\/p>\n The nested formula: crime(political incorrectness()) partially answers Menninger\u2019s title question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Menninger observed a \u201csubstitution\u201d of the designation \u201csin\u201d by the designation \u201ccrime\u201d.
