Do you find America itself distasteful for its many past “failures” to live up to current standards of Political Correctness?

Is it “neo-patriarchal mythology” to glorify the Founding Fathers? After all, they didn’t support women’s suffrage or “abortion rights”.

Interesting rhetorical tactic. Would you say that the notion that slavery is wrong is "Political Correctness"?

One of the things I love about my country is its ability and resourcefulness in correcting the mistakes it makes.

Another interesting rehetorical tactic - you here attempt to conflate support for the Founding Fathers' with support for the architects of the Confederacy as if they were equivalent - as if the people who founded the Union were somehow no different than the people who tried to destroy it.

After all, they didn’t support women’s suffrage or “abortion rights”.

I don't believe that women's suffrage was ever put before them. There certainly was no popular movement for it.

I'm not sure what women having the franchise has to do with the murder of unborn children, or what extending voting rights to women has to do with depriving children of their most basic rights.

As I review your post it seems that you live in a world where disapproving of slavery is the same as "political correctness", where founding a nation is the same as dismembering it and where women voting is the same as murdering children in cold blood.

Please rejoin me in reality at your earliest convenience.
