IMO it's one of many pendulums swinging in our generation, something awkward and ill considered that is, nevertheless, a temporary and necessary counterbabalance to the way things had been before. The PC pendulum swings while we wrestle with racism, for instance, and all the "isms" have their own pendulum. One can only hope, as we look at the microcosmic slice of time that is ours to live in, that over the long haul we advance overall.
In other words, yes, I agree with you, but the approach to take (IMO) is to step back and look at the larger forces, and help people get smarter instead of blaiming them for the small piece of ridiculosity (compared to the total ridiculosity of humans in history till now and till we are extinct).... that this is a chance to help folks see a better way by positive efforts, not something we can affect by chiming in with, "Yeah, ain't it awful, people SUCK!"
Cuz, we are people too, and if we are honest with ourselves we suck, too, each in our own way. By looking only at the wrongs of others we manage to waste time we could be looking at ourselves. Then we run out of time, and who have we ourselves become in our small, personal slice of history?
