IMO, PC is/was nothing more than an attempt to address the some of the aspects of racism/sexism ect in popular culture/society. Like anything else, some people got carried away and took it to ridiculous lengths and unfortunately made it a convenient whipping boy for the right who now use it as an epithet as they do the "L" word. Sadly, they seldom see fit to do the same for their own excesses. For your amusement/enlightenment or whatever, a link to the WPFL (chicks in shoulderpads and they ain't Versacci). The reference to the frequency of men's sexual thoughts may have originated with Jones and Barlow's study which reported: "In a sample of college students, researchers found that men fantasized or thought about sex 7.2 times a day, compared to 4.5 for women. For each sex, two of those fantasies were internally triggered. But men reported twice as many externally provoked thoughts." Self-reported frequency of sexual urges, fantasies, and masturbatory fantasies in heterosexual males and females.
