Ah, but apparently you ARE big on political correctness! One of those free speech advocates who have exceptions for others’ rights of free speech. Ever heard of the “sticks and stones” argument, the universal rhyme that even children used to live by? Surely your accomplished sister is strong enough to ignore the word choice of people she doesn’t know and will never meet. Over the years we’ve been told we can’t say “cripple,” “idiot,” “moron,” “fat,” “colored, “Pollock,” and “oriental.” Because feelings. Maybe we all need to get tough and realize that the world doesn’t revolve around us.
