One of my most controversial opinions is that the word "discrimination" has been deliberately perverted. We all "discriminate" every day, or life would be impossible. It is simply a survival trait. We judge. We tell the difference between good and bad in all aspects of our lives, from the minor (is the milk spoiled?) to the major (is my kid's teacher a pedophile?). Yet the "politically correct" want to force us to pervert this natural and beneficial aspect of ourselves. It is self-evident that "all men are created UNequal". Yet the politically correct want to insist that the Emperor's Clothes are just GORGEOUS! Well, they're not. Are ALL of the purple people one way, all of the time? Nope. That's self-evident. But are enough of them that way to make it a safe bet when you encounter one? Yup. Stereotypes exist for a reason. They didn't come out of thin air. They evolved from real life experience. Now, should you blindly apply a stereotype, should you apply it in the face of evidence to the contrary? NO! That would be stupid, there are exceptions, and it isn't in YOUR best interests to be that rigid. Failing to give the benefit of the doubt cheats you of the chance to get to know some wonderful people. But it is equally stupid to pretend that life is fair, and we're all the same, and everyone deserves something they haven't earned. That's childish. If you DO want to be left alone, should you be FORCED to associate with persons you dislike, whatever the reason you may dislike them? Think of the type of Dom or sub that you most dislike. Now imagine that they have become an "oppressed minority" an "underprivelaged subgroup" that is being "discriminated against".....and you are now required to fullfill a quota, and have sex with some of them. Ick, right? But that's the logic being applied here. What bothers me the most about my controversial opinion is that the Politically Correct are tolerant of everything EXCEPT intolerance. What sort of group vehmently insists upon "togetherness" and asks for your vote to put them in the position of holding the leash to the collar they are fashioning for that big happy family? Can you say "fascists", kids? Try this one: "communists".
