I cannot stand PC. I am just barely old enough to remember when you could make jokes and not be called racist or hateful. By the time I was out of high school I was constantly adding "no offense" to the end of my sentences. Part of that was because of my mother, but a huge part of it was also due to the PC and feminism being jammed downed society’s neck.
Now I find when I say what I believe I have been called hateful, liar, judgmental, etc. People won’t let my beliefs stand as my personal facts and my moral ground. They’ll take my words and twist them to their advantage because it’s easier to make me look like the bad guy than for them to admit to themselves what they did or what they are doing is wrong. That they are hurting themselves and/ or others in the process. PC is a way for society to scream at you until you return back to the fold the like good little house wife with the black eye telling herself, “He really loves me. He won’t do it again. I really wasn’t being a good wife. I deserved this.” (Or to quote my father about his mother "Some women deserve to be beat.") A lot of this is because people can not stand isolation, and I agree, it sucks. But I rather stand alone with my integrity intact.
Don't let them bully you too.

I have to say I agree with you 100 percent. I am old enough to remember when we could have fun and joke about stuff without condemnation.
There was a real good reason the founders put Freedom of Speech as the first Amendment. Because without that nothing else matters.
Don't feel alone I get evil looks and contentious stares from people. I've asked women with screaming kids if they'd like to use my belt to discipline their wayward child. Sometimes receiving a deadly glare as my reward.
Some of us still long for the days before PC slapped its hand over our mouths. Those really were the good old days.
