I have to ask. I just do.

Why is it that women tend to be so PC about things, all the damn time? I know, I know....don't generalize. I just get really tired of the verbal neatness sometimes. I mean, I'm a generally nice guy. I don't smoke, I don't drink, I take care of myself, I don't call women bitches or twats, I don't make fun of people based on their nationality, looks, or anything else. I believe I am a decent person. However, I do have one noticeable flaw: I don't mince words. I don't go out of my way to hurt people's feelings, and hardly ever do, but I absolutely hate it when people hold back on what they REALLY think. My wife, for example, will tell me about a co-worker of hers or someone she knows that behaves like an asshole, doesn't care about others, etc. You know the drill. So I tell her to tell that person. I don't mind being told about these things, but why is it so damn hard to tell the person in question directly what you think of them? She says she can't. Why? Because it isn't "nice".

Why does it always have to be nice? When I call the dog "the little shit", it's an affectionate term. I won't even go into the fact that I find the very concept of "bad words" utterly ridiculous (who the hell decides which words is "bad" anyway?). If someone treats you like an asswipe, don't just sit there, sip your tea and take it!

The reason I am bringing this up is because I have noticed this to be a mostly female thing. I know the males aren't supposed to read the chick board, but on the rare occasion that I do, I am a bit amused by the very PC terms used. Generally, women don't say "pussy", they use "coochie", or "coo-la-lah" or whatever other lame words there are for it. They'll say "penis", or if they're feeling adventureous, might even use "dick", but hardly ever a word like "cock" or "schlong".

Maybe I just live in a very pussified world, and didn't realize it. Or better yet, maybe I'm the asshole here and never realized that either.

I may be old-fashioned, but if I ever have a son, I hope I'll live long enough to be a role model for him. I will teach him that it is okay to get mad, it's okay to say so when something "sucks", and it is okay to live true to who you are and what you believe, instead of sipping your tea and taking it.
