Agreed. I'm generally left leaning, but I do think that political correctness in some cases goes too far.
Muh Soggy Knees is a reaction to use of accusations of misogyny to terminate an argument or disagreement. Calling a women, or a group of women out on their BS isn't misogyny. Hating all women and seeking to do them harm, because they're women is. Thinking a particular one, or particular group of them, are full of shit is not.
No we don't need to censor M rated games for sexy women, violence, or other forms of content. Tipper Gore, Anita Sarkeesian, Jonathan McIntosh and others like you; I'm specifically talking about you. Stay out of other people's hobbies unless you can prove direct causation of objective physical harm to innocent people. There are some right wing pastors who are worse; they don't want adults, especially men, playing video games at all but that doesn't excuse the would be censors.
Check your privilege is another example. Being male or being White doesn't automatically confer privilege on a person. If you're a White guy/girl but you live in poverty, I find it difficult to call you privileged. This is especially true when compared to people higher on the socioeconomic ladder than you, regardless of race or gender. Yes it's possible for people of color to be racist, same for White people. Lets have one standard, and agree to judge people on the basis of their demonstrated merit rather than inborn characteristics. This also applies to their arguments. There are people who are privileged but that's a function of wealth & connections IMO. These things have to be evaluated on a case by case basis.
I do think some are more likely to receive the benefit of the doubt than others, for inborn reasons, so it's not entirely equal but I do think making things about race/sex that aren't makes it more difficult to address things that actually are. There's a reason "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" is good reading for children, and adults.
Solange's actions against Jay-Z were domestic violence, not "standing up for her sister". Call it what it is and don't play favorites. Let's expect both men & women to keep their hands to themselves. (I'm not sure that the left are the only ones guilty of this, but that's no excuse).
Mansplaining, Manterrupting are also things that need to go. A person's gender has no bearing on whether or not they have a good point and is no less sexist & condescending than "don't worry your pretty little head about it", "it must be that time of the month", *"men are talking" , or "bleeding from her wherever". Either a person has a valid argument or they don't. Either a person is being an asshole are they're not. What's between their legs is irrelevant, same for their melanin content.
*Implied in that is that women should not.
