Political Correctness
 

Do you feel the world has become too politically correct? Is political correctness sometimes justified?

I see more positives than negatives as long as you dont discount actual facts/statistics.

I feel like this has become a term people use when they get fed up of being called out on their prejudices. It's a way of avoiding the discussion entirely.

Is it a good thing. Yes (ish). Has it come too far. Yes.

Donald Trump is partially a result of when this shit gets out of hand. You come up with 40 gender pronouns and your beloved athletes slap on new vaginas and suddenly all the old conservatives start to really push back and the pendulum starts swinging until abortions are illegal again. There has to be some balance.

For the record, I don't give two shits if you feel you need an operation to feel normal. But Bruce Jenner had motivations other than that. He became a spectacle and did it on purpose. Fuck that anti gay marriage, used to pee standing up, hurdle jumping sonofabitch.

This is a good thing.

Illegal abortions?

That's sarcasm, yeah?

Or just paradigm shifts?

Caitlyn Jenner is no spokesperson for the LGBT world. That's one of the problems, the most famous trans person in the world happens to be a prick. Trans/Non-Binary people etc. etc. are all just that people. They're not batshit crazy, extreme left wing assholes that do it for a kick.

She's not left wing though. She's conservative, I believe. But who knows what her actual leanings are. Money and ratings motivate that beast.

Still curious about shodan and this abortion thing though.

Oh no, she's definitely right wing. I was just talking about the stereotype. I tend to ignore Shodan on political threads, I don't know if he's trolling or serious.

Abortion is murder as soon as the fetus has any awareness - not pain perception or highly developed mental processing, just basic consciousness - which is quite soon actually. No supernatural or paranormal belief in souls or "sanctity of life" is necessary to justify this fact. The only times when abortion is ethically acceptable, ever, are as follows:

- The fetus has some genetic defect which will drastically decrease its quality of life to the extent that it's more humane to prevent it from being born, such as Tay-Sachs disease or brain malformation

- The pregnancy, if not terminated, would endanger the mother's life

Other reasons, like conceptions from rape or the mother's economic inability to raise a child properly, are invalid. If this doesn't make sense to you, imagine a mother deciding to kill her seven-year-old child for one of these reasons... then having mass demonstrations and laws passed to justify her decision.
