See, my problem with political correctness is that I find it often is trying to hide an -ism. I'd rather have the -ism out there than shrouded by political correctness. I'd rather them be bold enough in their -ism to state it in plain terms instead of couching in different words.

Expression of the -ism in bold words is beyond even a microaggression. The expression *itself* is an assault.


Can you (or others reading this) share tips on how to help combat -isms that are veiled within politically correct language? I would appreciate it.

I am happy to workshop things, probably in my journalspaces rather than Ny's, unless she really wants to host that.

I *think* what you're asking is, "how does one address the issue that putting a pretty window dressing on ugly thoughts does not make the ugly basis any better?"

Does reframing the issue make it any easier?
