Nonsense. Lots of more-or-less left-wing types bitch about it too.
I once worked in a computer store and had an officious government
purchasing officer object to my use of "male" and "female" for the
types of SCSI connector on a cable she wanted. She berated me
for sexist language.
I'm a long way from Archie politically, but stuff like that makes me
want a "Fuck Political Correctness" T-shirt.
