PC is running stupidly rampant. I was 'reamed a few years ago by my boss for holding a door open for a couple of ladies exiting a building behind me (it was a 'welfare' office whose staff are predominantly rampant PC and feministic) - we'd been to a meeting there.
I listened politely to his diatribe and then cheerfully told him to "Go %#@!! himself" as the action had been drilled into me as politeness, courtesy and good manners by my mother and as long as I had breath in my body I would continue to do it - no matter HOW much he objected. Besides if I hold a door open for a woman and she abuses me for it; she's just as likely to be informed of her boorish rudeness and tossed BACK it.

The PC world is a TERRIBLY confusing place to a blunt-spoken Asperger who calls it as they see it. I try to be polite at all times, but PC just confuses the bejeebers outta me.
