Hm, this is just great.  Just terrific.

Used to be, people got around having to deal with real complaints by
calling the complainee, "That Dyke".

Then, they got around having to deal with the complaints by labeling
such things as the care of the next generation (gender unspecified) as
"Wimmen's issues".

Now, y'all are free to ignore anything you don't like by labeling it
"politically correct", and you can be satisfied that every semiconscious
vehemently-non-yuppie will recoil in horror.

Ah, progress.

Yo, Rhonda, take your spat with Mark to e-mail.  And Mark, please confine
your response to Rhonda to e-mail.  Thanks.  LOTS!
