I miss being a kid in the 90’s, there was none of this PC BS back then, I wonder why now.

There was PC in the 1990s, but it was no where near the level of today.

You missed it in the 90s if you weren't exposed to it.

There was blowback then too (took most of the 1990s to squash the raging politically correct speech movement).

There were mock PC rakes on Aesop's fables, we had to deal with terms like “mail person” (which sounds like male person) for mailman...

It was bad even in the early 1970s. The original punk movement (at least according to those quoted in Leggs McNeil's Please Kill Me) was fueled in part due to opposition to sanctimonious holier than thou hippies who preached political correctness (even if they didn't always live it so much themselves).

Agreed. I’m 33. Perfect age. I grew up with a good dose of fun and patriotism— even in public school in NJ.

I think the cutoff age is more like under 27 or so.. about 5 years behind me is when it got real freaky and the brainwashing went into heavy effect.

It was well underway. Maybe you were too young to notice or care.

When I was in college in the early ‘80s my girlfriend was doing “women’s studies.” “Women’s what?” Etc.
