I just assumed the left would continue its hegemonic boot on the back of society's neck, maintaining its constant stream of anti-men, anti-white, etc etc, indefinitely, and ideas like "maybe let's not vilify entire demographics" were done for.

Now there's straight up men's rights activism pieces getting into mainstream papers.

I guess that's the essence of "political correctness" - what's currently correct is a political matter, not an objective one.
