How about the standards of tradition?

Forty years ago society had a fairly uniform
idea of what rude, crude, and boorish behavior
looked and sounded like and it was frowned
upon in most social situations. At some point, maybe
in the past twenty years, somebody came up with the
concept of political correctness which was designed
to spare somebody some hurt feelings or more
importantly to stifle conversation and debate.

Political correctness is a generally a bad thing
and so is rude, crude, and boorish behavior.
I hope you can agree with that.

Oddly enough that behavior Trump exhibits was the expected way to deal with the level of flack he’s getting which would have been seen as the behavior of, as was said back then, “jackasses”. Men were not polite back then, that was just the stuff you got when women and children were present.

In the recent case with Fox, a women decided she wanted to tussle like a man, and got exactly what she gave.
