    If I eat ice-cream is that empowering because I'm doing what I want to do.

    Empowerment refers to increasing the spiritual, political, social, racial, educational, gender or economic strength of individuals and communities.

    Empowering is giving your recently moved in girlfriend an apron (as a welcoming present)

    Empowering is giving someone a choice.
    Like voting in a democratic society empowers the masses.

    Avoid miscegenation. Don't give jobs to black folks. Join the White Guys Alliance. This stuff should really be obvious.
