Political Correctness in the Lifestyle

A few links on the subject. Done with about 5 seconds spent on Google.

Although this book isn't about being politically correct, one of the reviewers interpreted it to be a politically correct book.

Then there is a well written article on the over use of SSC.

Though this article doesn't directly mention political correctness within the lifestyle. It does elude to a need of general acceptance of activities by the masses. Though this may not fit the strict definition of politically correct, I think it does skirt showing some prejudice towards those with that strict adherence to the idea of SSC.

A short paragraph from the page I linked

"If we are content to do SM scenes that are SSC by prescription, we doom ourselves to imitative play and to never know what those older SMers were so all-fired excited about. We reduce our SM-sexuality to side-show pleasures and risk never knowing what all the older folks were talking about when they spoke of "going away" in a scene. We risk never seeing why they called SM "work" not play or understanding why they’re so sure SM is a life and a spirit not a lifestyle or a fun way to pass time."

As far as my definition being different than what you understand. It's my view, that anything said in such a way as not to offend anyone viewing or hearing it falls into a politically correct statement. If it was put that way out of fear of reprisal or persecution... Well, I do hope that one day you can find that inner strength to speak your mind.
