Oh so just the usual “Woe is me; I’m not getting my dick wet often enough, so it’s everyone else’s fault!” shtick?
Good to know.
I made a mistake the other day during another bout of boredom; I clicked on a RationalWiki link that documented the bullshit lingo these evolutionary rejects have come up with, to try to understand them better.
From “cels” to red pills to “creep shaming”; and all I could think was what a bunch of whiny little ‘pill popping’ bitches.
I ain’t mad at cha.
Precisely.
I can pretty easily tune out a lot of the [noun]ist bullshit on Reddit, but after seeing 2 or 3 topics from /r/redpill show up in /r/all was when I took steps to figure out how to block it from showing up (well, that and /r/thedonald).
Just the word “manosphere” makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit.
I’m right there with you.
In my opinion, the term is best restricted to cases where a government or institution is making some judgement about what sort of political opinion is correct. The right doesn’t really use it this way anymore: they want to talk about (to put it charitably) how individuals have political disagreements, which is fine, except that the term is confounding in that context.
Here’s an example of the former usage that I recently came across in the book I’m reading right now:
Joseph Stalin, too, understood the power of words, calling writers “the engineers of the human soul.” The Soviet leader had a way of expressing himself with industrial bluntness. “The production of souls,” he stated, “is more important than the production of tanks.” Stalin engineered a conformity of Soviet thought by executing writers, intellectuals, and artists who did not toe the party line, or by exiling them to the gulag’s frozen extremities.
The CIA’s methods of cultural engineering were far more subtle but no less effective. The agency spent an inestimable fortune on the war of ideas, subsidizing the intellectual and creative labors of those who were deemed politically correct and seeking to marginalize those who challenged the “crackpot realism” of Cold War orthodoxy. The main front organization used by the CIA to spread its largesse and influence was the Congress for Cultural Freedom, “a kind of cultural NATO,” in one critic’s words, founded in 1950 to counter the propaganda efforts of the Soviet bloc. The Congress for Cultural Freedom grew to become one of the biggest arts patrons in world history, sponsoring an impressive array of book publishing start-ups and literary magazines—including the influential Encounter and Paris Review—as well as art exhibits, literary prizes, concert tours, and international conferences held in Paris, Berlin, and the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio retreat overlooking Lake Como.

I also quote this because, despite being off topic, I think it’s really interesting historical info! Some of y’all might enjoy checking out this book.
“Don’t bother replying, I am deactivating this account” is pretty childish.
Having a look at your post history, I don’t see much productive discourse. Just derision.
You won’t be missed.
Perhaps you could elucidate how PC causes actual harm?
I have yet to see any examples even of this. Surely this should be easy for you to demonstrate.
Ask the college professors. They live in fear of offending instead of being able to offer the facts.
The real world involves being confronted with things. There is no office where we can go to report a person saying something that makes us feel uncomfortable in the real world. Sadly the schools are acquiescing to these fragile children and causing a whole lot of nonsense for people who want to educate others.
That is one instance that comes to mind.
To be clear, I do not mean that we should use slurs or limit other people all willy nilly. We all deserve to live and be comfortable to be loved and to have the ability to make a living.
It’s a combination of 3, 4 and 6, methinks.
You are referring to the article, “I am a liberal professor and my students scare me”. Penned by an anonymous author, which did not hold up to scrutiny:
The article you posted is from a person who was an adjunct until 2013. Things didn’t get insane until very recently due to the internet.
here is more info
Pardon the double post. I am experiencing technical difficulties.
The original Vox article talks about the problem as far back as 2009. I think it’s fair to say that 2013’s internet was much the same as today’s, so I am fairly skeptical that rampant, damaging political correctness has stormed our universities in just the past 36 months.
Did you listen to the video, including an actual person (a social psychologist) that has experienced this, or are you relying on a notoriously iffy source such as Vox?
To quote the video “If you graduated before 2013 you have no idea what is going on.”
You keep saying that, yet you keep posting crap… I mean if you wanna go why keep whining, just fucking leave already.
Are any of us putting a gun to your head and making you post or something?

It’s like a campus Young Republicans (for Rove) poster on campus came to life and began smearing itself with excrement.
