PC Speak

  PC speak began with the feminist movement, that sprung up somewhere in the early seventies. At it's base were a small group of very frustrated lesbians who had had enough of pink ribbons and bows, in that, they strongly believed that all that kept them from higher paying jobs was because they were seen only as women, and not taken seriously. To that extent, if you look at where women are in the work force today, you would have to agree that it was a successful campaign. In fact, so successful, that they were even able to change the language into accepting Mz. for Mrs. or Miss.
  But of course, one man's gain is another's loss, and so, as part of their public relations campaign, American women who chose to stay home and raise their families were made to feel stupid? The outcome? It did much to destabilize the family unit, and has now gotten to the point for middle class American mothers, that now, they have to work, as very few American families can make it today on one salary.
  Once this societal change was well on its way to acceptance, the movement was picked up almost exclusively, by the gay community. While Americans were still reeling, trying to make sense of these changes, in the beginning, the early attempts were funny. Any serious business woman began wearing men's suits, complete with neck ties to work. Men were told that they needed to get in touch with their feminine side, and encouraged that there is nothing quite like a good cry to cleanse the soul?
  The wusification of the American male, while conversely empowering women, was never more evident then with Hollywoods over reaction, where men in film were suddenly the buffoon, saved only by his much more practical wife, and scorned even by his children. Most men weathered the storm, confident in them selves, but there were the fools who bought the thing hook line and sinker?
  So where has all of this PC speak gotten us? How long, if left unchecked until a third placard is necessary for all public toilets? One for men, one for women, and one for undecided? But beyond all of this silliness, lies the real danger, and no, it isn't global climate change? But it is PC speak that now makes it wrong to clearly name your enemy. Islamist extremists who do all kinds of unthinkable things to their fellow humans, cannot be singled out? To do so is considered Islamaphobic, but the reality is, to not do so is not only PC stupidity, but is down right suicidal! Using the logic of the PC police, maybe the nations we fought in the the past weren't really a named nation at all, maybe they were all Purple Pandas?
