After mentioning the bullying Jonathan Chait<\/strong> had to endure for having an opinion<\/a> (an opinion I desperately urge you to read), Dave Hitt<\/strong> has compiled this useful list of terms the politically correct totalitarians (aka Social Justice Warriors) use.<\/p>\n

Works great as a dictionary<\/a>:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Privilege:<\/strong> Any white male with any advantage of any kind is guilty of abusing their undeserved privilege. Do you have a penis? Then you have privilege. Do you have degree that you worked hard for, and that your parents helped with by working two extra jobs? Privilege. Did you happen to be born white? Then you\u2019re guilty of privilege, you rat-bastard. Do you have some skill or talent that you\u2019ve honed and improved upon? Privilege privilege privilege, and you should be ashamed.<\/p>\n

In such conversations, if you replace the word \u201cprivilege\u201d with the much more accurate word \u201cadvantage,\u201d the entire perspective changes. It becomes more reasonable and realistic. \u201cYou got where you are because of privilege\u201d is an insult that says a person\u2019s achievements are undeserved. \u201cYou had advantages getting where you are,\u201d is a simple statement of fact. Everyone has different advantages. Some people have more than others. Some are better than others at making the most of whatever advantages they have.<\/p>\n

There is no question that being a white male provides significant advantages over any other gender\/race combination. But the idea that it guarantees success can be dispelled with a short visit to any WalMart.<\/p>\n

Check Your Privilege<\/a>:<\/strong> Shorthand for, \u201cShut your honkey yap. You\u2019re privileged and so nothing you say on any subject matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Microaggression:<\/strong> A deep investigation (three seconds on Google) taught me this word was coined in the 70\u2019s to refer to subtle racism. Now it refers to failures of political correctness that are so subtle, minute, trivial, and unintentional, that no normal grown-up would even notice them. But the politically correct are not normal, nor grown up. They devote an inordinate amount of time searching for things to be offended about, finding them everywhere, then endlessly screeching about them.<\/p>\n

How long before we hear complaints about Nanoagression? Picoagression?<\/p>\n

Cisgendered:<\/strong> The first time I saw this I had to look it up. It\u2019s a technical term psychologists use to describe people whose psychology matches their gender. In other words, males who are happy to be men and females who are happy to be women. In other words, about 99.5% of the population. But now it\u2019s used as an insult, further a proof of \u201cprivilege.\u201d If you\u2019re content to be a man or a woman, you should be ashamed of yourself.<\/p>\n

Rape Culture:<\/strong> Rapists are universally despised in our culture. Even in prison, other inmates consider them the lowest of the low. The merest hint that someone may be a rapist is enough to destroy their reputation and ruin their life. RadFems insist that somehow this means we live in a rape culture.<\/p>\n

There are cultures where women are forced to cover themselves, head to foot, because they believe men are too rapey to control themselves. In some of these cultures, when a woman gets raped, she\u2019s buried her up to her neck and then stoned to death, while her rapist goes free. That<\/em> is a rape culture, but RadFems pretty much ignore it. They\u2019re too busy redefining oggoling as \u201cstare rape.\u201d Yes, that\u2019s a thing, according to them.<\/p>\n

John Cusack playing a love song on a boombox? Rape culture. Seriously<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mansplaining:<\/strong> Originally, a useful term referring to a man confidently explaining something to a woman who is more knowledgeable about the subject than he is. About twelve minutes after being used, it was co-opted by the left to mean \u201cany time a male opens his mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Manspreading:<\/strong> A man who sits with is legs apart, especially on public transportation, is guilty of this heinous crime. Yes, it\u2019s rude and inconsiderate on a crowded vehicle if he\u2019s taking up an extra seat, but that\u2019s not what this is all about. A man who doesn\u2019t sit like a woman is deeply, deeply offensive to RadFems.<\/p>\n

Mangina:<\/strong> A subspecies of male who, for unfathomable reasons, sides with RadFems.<\/p>\n

OK, that\u2019s not a PC word. It\u2019s an anti-PC word that I liked too much to leave out.<\/p>\n

Trigger Warning:<\/strong> Any word can trigger an emotional breakdown, so any article or conversation that might upset a RadFem (i.e. pretty much anything<\/a>) should be preceded by the words, \u201cTrigger Warning.\u201d Neglecting the warning is aggression, and not a mere micoaggression, you insensitive privileged cisgendered scum.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
