- __Why not? Why did you even bring up PC. If things here werent so imbalanced
- in terms of the way people are treated, then people wouldnt be so touchy in the
- first place. If women had been getting paid the same wages as men they wouldnt
- mind some of the this that are said about them. Ex. in only prositution and
- modeling do women average higher salaries than men. Wouldnt you be pissed
- off if people thought of you only as a sex object and didnt repect you
- as an equal. Sure ya would. Not every individual is this concerned about
- what people call them (as i am sure you know). Have you noticed that most
- of the non- PC people out there are middle class white males? Why is that?
- Is it becuz this is the most socially mobile peron in the U.S right now?
- If you disagree with me i'll surely give you a wealth of information to look
- at that backs up my point.
- Comments please.
