“PC culture is out of control!”
How do you feel about the debate over “political correctness?” Some say that “being PC” is about stifling free speech – but if you think about it, their position doesn’t carry much weight at all.
This fun comic puts in all in perspective, with the adventures of Politically Incorrect Man – a hero to people who think they’re “oppressed” by political correctness. Politically Incorrect Man is looking out for all of those who wish to say whatever they want without any consequences.
But what happens when Politically Incorrect Man meets Mx. Respect for Others? A valuable reminder that marginalized folks are part of society, too – and our speech is just as valid and powerful.
Everyone who’s worried about the “PC police” could really use this lesson on what it really means to cultivate liberation for all people.
With Love,
The Editors at Everyday Feminism

On the right there is a man in a doorway looming over a person blocking the door. Man: Whaddya mean I can’t come in? Person: It’s a safe space for femme-identifying folks only. Man: Look, I want to talk to my girlfriend – just because I’m a guy doesn’t mean I’m not safe.]
