Why <i> PC</i> Spells Political Controversy : CALL IT SENSITIVITY

Pristin writes more on the degradation of wolves than of women, yet women make up half the population. It is true that women do not collectively protest Hollywood’s treatment of them. This is because women are so used to seeing only beautiful and all-sexual women that they believe these portrayals are natural and acceptable.

Writer David Freeman says, “There’s nothing worse than polite art.” He’s wrong. There is nothing worse than being a victim of sexism, racism, gay bashing, etc. My vote goes for viewing PC as sensitivity.
