The consequences of political correctness
Nothing. Road police had battons to regulate traffic. Normal police on the street while they I'm sure had guns somewhere they didn't carry them. Violent street crime was practically nonexistent. Women could leave their baby carts with the baby outside a shop's door and it would be safe because even if something happened the random passers by would take care of it. It is unthinkable today but it was real. This was of course a small town, bigger cities were a little more hectic but only slightly. Wow man, that sounds alien to me. Of course I grew up in Houston in the 90's/00's and the crime rate here isn't low. I don't think I've ever seen a cop who wasn't packing a handgun.

In the town where I was born in USSR the police didn't even have guns. What did they have?

The consequences of political correctness
Hope so, not that it'll matter much with the new ideas on making this a 'safe space' or whatever the invented terminology is. Hey, this means oby might get banned - I guess Walshingam may climax if that comes to pass If we get "safe spaces", does that mean promancers will finally be told to get out?

Social-reactionary fiend George Carlin on politically correct phrases. http://youtu.be/yeB7dnXFMcg If the current behavior is any indication, it's quite likely they stick to PoE forums.

I wouldn't say he's "the worst", but a lot of his work does show some deepseated issues. I'm not sure how he became a feminist icon or why people credit him with writing "strong women". If there's a scene in Firefly with Mal and a female character in which he is not asserting his dominance over them, I have yet to find it. The ultimate alpha. He's respected because he kissed the ring. Most of his female characters are Buffy with different names, ditzy attractive white women who beat up lots of men with kung-fu. I find it a bit insulting to women to be honest.

I don't really have much to add to the discussion, but what the hell. A problem with feminism in the electronic era is the rise of bombastic bloggers like anyone at Jezebel, Jessica Valenti, or Amanda Marcotte. Another problem could be that as legal equality has pretty much been accomplished in the first world, some feminists are focusing on rather mild things or broaching censorship territory(see anti-porn feminists). Then you have the fact that women outside the western world, particularly Islamic states, have it terribly yet there seems to be very little focus on that from first-world feminists. We could spend quite a bit of time dissecting and discussing why modern feminism is viewed negatively, but I'd rather focus on the fact that it is viewed negatively. Modern feminism is viewed by a sizable portion of people as being anti-male and advocating for special privileges for women rather than equality. In 'Murica most people agree with the notion of equality but only %20 consider themselves feminists. You can make the "no true feminist" argument until you're blue in the face, but it does not change the perception the general public holds. I support legal equality for everyone(ie equal treatment under the law), and I think any reasonable person should. I agree that depictions of women in media could use substantial improvement(ironically, I find most self-described feminist male writers are the worst at writing women cough*whedon*cough). I am not a bigot, an I do not like being labeled a misogynist because I think "strong female character" is a lazy cop out to creating more interesting female characters in fiction or that diversity quotas are misguided and ineffective. Yet I have found myself and my friends attacked several turns by self-described feminists. I was shouted down for stating my opinion that class and wealth were bigger indicators of privilege than gender or race at my university. While attending a gig with my girlfriend, I was screeched at by someone for treating my girlfriend like an object(I opened the door for her, got her a drink, and gave her my jacket) and my girlfriend was subjected to accusations of internalizing misogyny and racism(I'm white, she isn't). I have been equated with the KKK and ISIS for having a problem with certain online publications and sending e-mails to Gawker advertisers. A friend of mine was sent threats because she expressed an opposition to the "guilty until proven innocent" standards in UK rape cases. If this is the feminist method of achieving equality, then I want no part of it. Sorry for the wall of text guys.

Dude edit that out fast or **** will go down. I knocked over that beehive once, you wouldn't believe what came out. Santourm? Fighter is right at any rate. If you compare men and women who train similarly, the men will generally be able to lift more weight, as testosterone encourages muscle growth and males have about 7-8 times more than females on average.

Leftist here, we tend to hate liberals precisely because of **** like this. Expect to see a pushback against authoritarianism in the next few years.

Well they are hiring artists from Tumblr... It pisses me off because it's badly written and reduces a character to a one-dimensional valley girl.

Feminism
You've opened up a large can of worms Hurlie. Whether its deserved or not, (modern 3rd Wave)feminism has a reputation for being obsessed with trivial bull**** and hating men. When you look at the outcries over shirts and feminists carrying mugs labeled "male tears", it's easy to understand why someone would have that perception, even if you feel it's unfair. I find myself identifying as egalitarian these days, as my personal experience with both feminists and mras is that they are attempting to address gender inequality by focusing on the interests of only one gender. In addition, I find their lack of interest in class and economic issues infuriating and their focus on identity politics a distraction.
