Political correctness has become mainstream over the years. Gone are the days when you could've gotten away with things you simply can't get away with now.

So, what should be the ceiling for political correctness? Where do we draw the line? What should be acceptable and not acceptable?

Discuss.
 
There are still too many different cultures with divergent views on what correct actually means so there is not going to be one answer fits all. I could advise on what it should be in the UK, but would not really go beyond that.

I personally think that religions should be off-limit. I also think that criticizing LGBT lifestyle should be fine.

:))) I have got to say no one triggers me on PP except your posts lol, I’m just laughing at myself thinking about it ..probably because I know you are not trolling
 
I also feel radical feminists should be called out. If they go overboard and start to sound like lunatics, we need to squash their rhetoric.

You probably would find some of my views controversial. It is because you believe in unlimited secularism while I believe in controlled liberalism.

In the UK we have a long tradition of making fun of religion.
 
The line should be drawn at hate speech - that which incites violence.

Yeah but if it causes unrest, isn't it better to make it illegal?

I would love to see criticisms of all religions banned. It should be off-limit.

If giving Nazi salute can be illegal, then it should be illegal also.

Have you ever thought this through as to how it would play out? How would you as a quite fundamentalist Muslim look to squash the radical feminists? Do you think there might be a far bigger backlash against you as a Muslim if you took a stand? Have you ever had any problems from radical feminists in your own social circle?

Radical feminists are massive dangers to society. Their objective is to make men like them.

Men are becoming feminine and incompetent because they are surrendering to these radical feminists. We shouldn't succumb to their pressure and rhetoric.

I love and respect women but I am unlikely to ever succumb to a feminist.

So what actions would you personally take, and do you think there may be a backlash to suffer as a result?

What can these women do? Nothing.

They will probably complain for a few days and then go back to watching their favorite TV shows.

These radical feminists became powerful because we allowed it to happen. They are attention seekers and we shouldn't give it to them.

I'm not asking what the women will do, I am asking what you will do.

I would reverse all the changes that were made due to them. We should go back to pre-feminist era. Back when ladies were ladies and not freaks.

I can't do much unfortunately. I try to ignore and get on with my life.

I think we can't pick and choose when we make one thing fine and other's don't it just sets a bad precedent (coming from a anti-LGBT rights guy) ideas cannot be oppressed I think you can only fight than with ideas.
 
i don't even care anymore. we're too far gone, keep your mouth shut and head down. nobody really cares about anyone else's opinions anyway.
 
The limits depend on society and era. Religion may be off limits in some countries but casually demoralizing LGBTQ in every day life would be ok, while it could be the opposite in other countries. Political correctness is defined by the norms and attitudes of the society, and they can change over time.

Could you give an example of how making fun of religion has caused violent unrest in the U.K.?

So in other words you would put all women back in the kitchen, take away their reproductive rights, take the vote away from then, and ban them from being doctors and political leaders.

No. I didn't say that.

My rant wasn't against women in general. It was primarily against modern radical feminists. There is a difference.

I simply want to see modern feminism disappear. It is brainwashing our women.

I was saying worldwide. Not just UK. There has been unrest worldwide after cartoons featuring prophet Muhammed (PBUH) were drawn.

I think making fun of religion is irresponsible because it is quite sensitive to many people.

When I mean religion, I don't just mean Islam. I want to see all religions being protected against ridicule and abuse.

Surely women are their own, not “ours” ?

Which wave of feminism would you draw the line at - first, second, third, fourth?

You think the idea of a God who sacrificed himself to himself to change a rule he made himself should be proof against ridicule?

Present wave is definitely toxic and rotten. This is the one I am referring to.

If we don't keep it in check, who knows what's coming next.

I would love to see some accountability. If any woman wrongly accuses a male, that woman should receive a hefty jail sentence. They generally get away with zero consequence.

So you believe that women should have the vote, property rights and professional roles - you’re a second wave feminist at least.

Do you believe that women are discriminated against as women, but also by their ethnicity, religion and ability? And that this is bad? Then you are a third wave feminist.

Do you believe that men should be able to express emotion, and should have equal paternity pay to a woman and rights of access to children in a divorce? Then you are a fourth wave feminist.

Seems to me that you are against people lying to incriminate others. Good. Though I would suggest you also consider how very difficult it is for a woman to prove that she has been raped, and how many men get away with this dreadful crime, and how many women are denied the justice they deserve.

I have no problem with women voting, having professional jobs etc. If they are qualified, they should be hired. No issue here.

But, they should stop whining about every little thing. It makes them (radical feminists) look like sour losers.

I definitely believe that many women lie and destroy men's lives with false accusations. These women often get away with zero consequences. This is the point I am raising. If a man makes a mistake, media and society look to destroy the man. If a woman makes a mistake, not much happens. I would love to see equal treatment.
