Question

Why is feminism closely associated with political correctness?

Answer 1

It's a shaming tactic used to discourage anyone from disagreeing with anything feminism says.

"Feminists attack and censor free speech where ever this freedom is used in any way in which the feminists do not approve."

Answer 2

PC is tyranny with a smile, it is maternalistic and condescending in that "mother knows best" sort of way, even when it is wrong- which is most of the time, if not all.

Because it is divisive, it allows it's proponents to claim that people who do not act/think/speak the way they determine as being correct.  Feminism set itself up early with a set of rules as to what was 'good' behaviour, and this later morphed into the right to impose their behavioural standards, but usually using little things (such as 'inclusive language') to begin with.  This is the feminist association with PC.  PC went through pretty much every other area of western thought and endeavour from the mid-80's onwards.

Feminism is so closely associated with PC because it seeks to impose certain thoughts/actions/words and ideas.  The easiest way to gain power in modern liberal societies is to use PC as your driving force, usually by claiming victim status, then gathering to yourself the right to determine what is good and the right also to vilify those (usually through condescension) who believe differently, often because they use different nouns or verbs.

My beliefs here will cop it, but I will not submit to PC.  Being non-PC does not make me a follower all of those negative 'isms' that go around (racism, sexism, chauvanism and so on).

Answer 3

They are one and the same. Neo-fascists.

Answer 4

Because if you don't agree with them you are a discriminator, and discrimination isn't considered politically correct. ;-)

Answer 5

It's not, byatch.

Answer 6

The extremities of feminism and polcor ('political correctness') both come from the same stable, the Madison campus at the University of Wisconsin, the same dingdongs who invented the car bomb.

Answer 7

idk, they manage to be so un pc in their beliefs about men yet claim the pc high ground all the time. many don't have the smarts to see the bigger picture many are just hypocrites and female supremacists and many know deep down that much of feminism is bs but they won't admit it because they have invested some much in it, getting a degree in GWS for example.

Answer 8

As far as I knew it wasnt specifically  "women" that made that new list of proper words, it was some college students.

And yea I'm STILL annoyed by that. (It's just some folks sat down and decided what the arbitrary excuses would be to bash people around here and there for not speaking the way THEY arbitrarily say is "correct" OR ALLOWED (!) (oH heil!). (Very annoying. A control tactic, that should have NEVER been gone along with.-as if we HAD to)

Answer 9

LOL, because the Feminists gave birth to it.

"Discrimination" is only defined as something men do to women, never the other way around. We have "women's studies" but not "men's studies". That's both sexist and discriminatory, but because it's sexist against men, and discriminatory against men, then it's neither sexist nor discriminatory.

Answer 10

The elite's have brain washed them to be angry if someone doesn't believe the way they do. Like you stated in a different way, it's like pulling the race card!
