I disagree that all political correctness is nonsense. Some opinions are more grounded in fact than others, and some political viewpoints are more correct than others.

I remember all the eye-rolling during the early stages of political correctness. Many of the principles of p.c. didn't start out as the established way that we think about them. For example, grown women used to be called "girls". Feminist consciousness raising also put the concept of "sexual harassment" into the common language.

In polite company it is no longer acceptable to talk about "faggots" in a derogatory way. That didn't happen overnight. Things are politically incorrect before they become unacceptable.

You can't rely on the native good sense of ordinary people. Political correctness is a necessary part of consciousness raising.

Would you like to go back to being a faggot?
