How to use "Not pertaining to" in context?
No one knows what constitutes "not pertaining to" because no one has ever been excluded from it. In theory, it would be anything not related to the topic at hand, such as a civil discussion about the weather. In practice, however, it is often used as a catch-all for anything that is irrelevant. For instance, if a person is discussing their own personal life, they might say that the conversation "doesn't concern me." This can be problematic because it allows people to neglect their own experiences and to not listen to others. Additionally, it can be used as a way to shut down conversation or to marginalize certain people.
