The PC World is Gettin' Me Down

I have noticed lately that the world has gone insane. It is shocking to me that we are so consumed with political correctness and “doing the right thing” that we have lost all common sense.

For example, my post from yesterday. The Philadelphia Museum of Art was more concerned that my child might fall and hurt himself and I’d sue them, than they were in protecting valuable works of art from small, sticky fingers.

And what about Michael Jackson? I mean who really thinks he is innocent? Give me a break. Next time I want to break the law I'm going to California!

I think the problem is that we have become a society of blame. No one wants to take responsibility for themselves and their own actions. We want it to be someone else’s fault and we want to get paid for it.

Due to this “finger-pointing” mentality we have become so scared of voicing opinions and doing what is unpopular that we try to cater to every nutcase around.

My mom recently told me that some schools are going to a 1-2-3 or circle, square, diamond rating system. You know because A, B and C is just too much pressure for small children. I mean if you get a B and your friend gets an A – oh no! How will you handle it?

Or how about little leagues letting all kids play to be fair? Nevermind the idea of getting to play because you have ability and skill.

Here’s a newsflash people – life ain’t fair. We need to challenge our children and teach them about how the world works. If we keep coddling and catering we will just continue raising a society of politically correct pansies who cower at every turn.

You know what else irritates me? (Don’t worry – I’ll tell you.) Putting the word “person” in every saying. Policeperson, Fireperson, Chairperson, Flight Attendant (vs. Stewardess), etc.

I’m a woman who doesn’t give a shit about the fact that most terms are masculine.

Policeman – whatever.

I’m mean really, are women as a whole that insecure? Come on ladies – stop being our own worst enemies and focus on other issues. How about equal pay and better prenatal care? How about paternity leave so mothers who want to work don’t have to put their careers on hold?

So you don’t agree with me? Fine. Stop being so politically correct and give your opinion. There’s a comment section right there on the bottom of this post.

And if you have other issues? Write your congressman.
