Do women tend to be more politically correct than men?
This is probably true.Women are more likely to have been raised to think of others before themselves. They tend to be raised to be the peacekeepers and make sure everyone around them is happy. There is more of a penalty for girls to be rude and disrespectful than there is for boys.Women are more likely to have been on the receiving end of disrespectful speech and so they know the value of political correctness. They personally understand the power that words can have.White men especially of the Baby Boomer generation or older are more likely to have lived their lives in a bubble. They have always been on top socially so they didn’t have the life lessons that tend to strip away arrogance and entitlement.These and other factors probably make women more likely to be politically correct than men.
Why are women so politically correct?
When they date on the preference of race, but also stand for global liberal issues. When it comes to dating, they're always general to try to include all men of all races. Why not just say from now on that you like black men and prefer to do so and so with them for example. Don't act like you have to be politically correct to include all men. We all know the probability is lower for those other men. I mean you have to stop hiding your feelings really. If you say racial preference is not bad, and it is like apples and oranges(yes I've heard liberals state this), or ketchup or mustard, people only say they like those things and talk about them. However, making intentional hate topics is a different story if you're trying to get a reaction and start race wars.
When someone says they are sick of political correctness, is that another way for saying they are racist?
Political correct speech is intended to decrease bigoted behavior. Bigotry includes not only racism but also sexism, homonegativity, xenophobia, etc.The problem is that political correctness surpresses free speech and can actually serve to worsen bigotry.If I am bigoted, the chances are great that I subconsciously perceive myself as a victim. Suppressing my ability to express my views only deepens the fears and insecurities underlying my views. It doesn’t provide opportunity for a dialogue that might help me change my mind. It doesn’t help open my heart or mind to new information or a new perspective.Political correctness further sends the message that our first priority should be protecting people from hearing things that might hurt their feelings (rather than helping them develop the resilience necessary to deal with the hatred and ignorance of others).Politically correct speech was a well-intentioned effort that had the unintended consequence of actually making things worse. If we learn nothing more from the Trump Phenomenon it should be that.I think suppressing speech is not the answer.I am sick of political correctness and I am not a racist.Instead of us talking about „pc“ speech, I think we should focus on things like: respect for innate human dignity, compassion, civil discourse, seeking unity in our diversity, promoting acceptance of differences (not acceptance of hateful or hurtful behavior), inclusion, resilience, integrity, disagreeing without being disagreeable, seeking to understand and be understood, and learning how to treat one another as equals.
Why are we supposed to "fight" political correctness?
I see we need some “diversity” of view point in the answers to this question. I am happy to oblige.The clearest definition of “Political Correctness” I have ever seen is “Political Correctness is Fascism disguised as politeness.” If you are not scared of thinly veiled Fascism taking root in our society, then you should be.We fight against political correctness because it is the enemy of free speech and diversity of opinion. We see Political Correct Fascism ALL over the internet. The Left-Wing is the dominant champion of political correctness, and they exercise their dominance by deleting posts, videos and tweets that disagree with their Liberal point of view. They also penalize accounts for disagreeing with their “political pets.”Political correctness is no different than the totalitarianism we have seen take over and destroy many civilizations throughout history. The King or Dictator censors all thoughts and opinions, those who defy this social rule would be imprisoned or executed. So far, the Political Correct movement in America has not gained enough strength to legally harm/punish anyone, but they are doing the best they can. California now allows jailing people for using certain words and my guess is that the political correctness drive will not stop until it brings about a repeat of the horrors of Nazi Germany.It is extremely important not to allow the Left-Wing to suppress common sense, logic, truth, Christianity, and Conservative perspectives. Fight on!
Is political correctness preventing free speech? If so, what are some examples?
No. Political correctness (if that is even an actual thing) is not preventing free speech. In fact it's merely a buzzword that is thrown around by people who can't keep their mouths shut and be polite.Political correctness is basically being polite and civil. To not shout out offensive slurs to someone who doesn't deserve it. This is common decency, if you don't like someone you simply don't interact with them - simples. That's just called being tolerant and civil.On the other hand, you have your typical anti-PC warrior who claims their freedom of speech is being impeached on because they can't actively insult and discriminate against people they don't like to their faces - this is just called being an ass.If you want to discriminate I am happy for you to do it in the vicinity of like-minded people just not when it's clearly offended someone else - that's bullying and plain rude.So with all that out of the way. Is it killing free speech?No.Political correctness is not killing free speech. you have the right to say whatever you want. You might become unpopular for saying what you want but that's your fault, no-one else's and it's certainly not the perceived entity that is 'political correctness's' fault. That's society.Another thing to remember as that freedom of speech can be restricted in certain places such as schools and certain organisations such as TV, work and so on. Basically, their business, their rules and that's just the way of things. If someone is kicked from a show for having anti-PC views then that's the right to the broadcaster - if you want to express your opinions go and find a TV station that will let you say those things or start a rally - if not many people support your rally then you should probably evaluate why people aren't supporting you.Most minorities actually aren't that sensitive at all - many of them can take a joke and can tell when someone is being aggressive and when they are just unknowingly making a hurtful comment. They will probably just fight back as well if you insulted them.PC can have it's extremists also but they're not usually a majority. I've never personally met many of these types online, perhaps it's because I stay away from Reddit and Tumblr...
Why do people hate Political correctness.?
No that is not what the term "politically correct" means. Being respectful and polite is not the same as being politically correct. It means you have couched your words in a form that supports the politics of whomever is in power. For example, at work it would be unwise to disparage your own company's product. When applied to American politics, it stifles a debate.
