Quickie: over at Daily Kos, Granny Doc rants on the idiocy of political correctness. It’s a great read. Snip:
I was once chastised, right here, for referring to myself as an Old Woman! Â Aside from the simple fact that I am, indeed, an old woman – having outlived 99% of all of the women born on this planet through out human history – the correction came from a very young woman who imagined the term to be insulting. Â Fear of aging, a common source of reality denial in our culture, made any reference to my own age an intrusion of reality that was denounced.
Reminds me of how I once received hate mail for a caption on a photo of me and Karen that I used on my medical website. This was a great photo (one of my favorites) of the two of us together when I was in med school. The caption read, “The proprietors, before they turned old and gray.” The hate mailer accused me of buying into our youth-worshiping society blah blah blah. Jeez.
