To be quite frank, I think the whole political correctness has gone too far.

I'm good with movements like #MeToo as it's doing the justice that these women deserve.

However, I'm tired of people trying to make a point on the slightest thing. A business serving women refuse to serve trans is discrimination, a bakery refusing to make cake for LGBT is discrimination... so on...

I mean, where does it end? We as a society need to educate our future generations about the meaning of these words and actions... and MOST IMPORTANTLY, why they became inappropriate. It's the motivation to use these words/phrases in an attempt to devalue or undermine a group of people in our society that's wrong... not the words. Just because a person never use any racial slur doesn't mean he/she isn't racist. In fact, it's such a hypocrisy.

We pretend discrimination doesn't exist because no one talks/act about it anymore?! More focus need to be on the preventative side rather than the conviction side.
