Are conversations about relationships held hostage by political correctness?

It's not so much political correctness around here. It's more that people want their points of view validated by the person they're arguing with, imo. If someone calls you an asshole, they don't want you to explain why you're NOT an asshole. They want you to admit that your argument isn't as good as theirs is.

There's a goodly number of women here ("liberated" ones, even). Cutting giant, sweeping swaths with your gender-based assumptions is going to get you labelled a misogynist. mysoginyst. misoginyst. whatever. We have several unapologetic assholes here, each with their take on the world. That's what makes it fun. Calling something PC is this year's Godwin. meh.
