Political Correctness

To be a feminist means that one should be aware of political correctness, at least for me myself. So I don’t say lady, but woman. I don’t call blind but eyesight challenged. I finish all meals on the table and don’t waste, because there are people who are starving. What a respectable person I am.

One day, I met a difable (from different ability, not disable) colleague who had been advocating friendly environment for this group. He’s eyesight challenged and extremely funny person. He told me,”Oh come on why you make it complicated. I am blind, just say that I’m blind. It’s shorter, better known, more understandable and easier.”

My friend who works as a sex worker says,” I am a prostitute, just say it. It’s ok. When you say sex worker it’s odd. What’s so different, what we do is just the same.”

There goes my political correctness.
