Sexual Correctness: The Gender-Feminist Attack on Women2 reviews
Wendy McElroy

McFarland & Company, 2001

Classic McElroy: precise, logical, spirited... not boring!
Several years ago, when I was finding myself generally annoyed with what I saw as a negative editorial attitude in Liberty magazine, I came upon an article that electrified me. This article was clear, concise, logical and utterly devastating of some alarming idiocies I perceived as having taken over the feminist movement. The article was written by someone I'd never heard of, but someone for whom ... 		  
  







  
  
PC, M.D.: How Political Correctness Is Corrupting Medicine22 reviews
Sally Satel, M.D. Sally Satel

Basic Books, 2002

Revealing The Truth
The author of this book has done a very excellent job in revealing how the almost cult like mentalities of political correctness, alternative medicine, and paranormal healing have crept into mainstream medicine. She uses logic and a mountain of research data to support her claim that the patient's best interest and scientific research are beginning to take second priority to political correctness ... 		  
  







  
  
The Revolt of the Primitive: An Inquiry into the Roots of Political Correctness11 reviews

Transaction Publishers, 2003

Adrift in a Sea of "P.C.": A Cautionary Tale for our Times.
The Primordial Female, primitive, enigmatic, and always ready to provide succor when the outside world turns against us, is the stuff of our sub-conscious desire. Freud saw her as the primitive mother, with whom we all want to be reunited. Judy Chicago paints her as a goddess, "...her center dark and molten; all her energy emanates from her bloody womb and core...a sacred vessel." Lao Tzu calls ... 		  
  







  
  
Racial Paranoia: The Unintended Consequences of Political Correctness1 review
John L. Jackson Jr.

Basic Civitas Books, 2008

Great Analysis, But Not a Great Book
Jackson offers tremendous insight into how race operates in the post-civil rights era. His discussions of Dave Chappelle, de cardio racism, and hip hop are flat-out brilliant. Through these chapters, Jackson shows how race and racism operate has changed and gone "underground" into people's hearts. This change means that racial motivations are no longer clearly stated, causing folks to become ... 		  
  







  
  
The Kinder, Gentler Military: How Political Correctness Affects Our Ability to Win Wars52 reviews
Stephanie Gutmann

Encounter Books, 2001

Finally, the truth emerges
I was so enthralled by this book that I read it in one day. Stephanie Gutmann is right on target. Except for the Marines, the military has evolved into some type of sociology lab experiment that is a cross between Gidget and Camp Grenada. I was a U.S. Army officer and spent most of my active duty days in armored cav units. I was also lucky enough to ETS from the lean green machine in 1993, before ...

It is absolutely mandatory reading for every parent, teacher or counselor concerned about this generation of young people and the direction their lives our heading. Thank you Dr Grossman, for your courage, honesty and immense talent in tackling such a difficult topic with academic excellence as well as a heart for this ... 		  
  







  
  
Selling the Free Market: The Rhetoric of Economic Correctness13 reviews
James Arnt Aune

The Guilford Press, 2002

The Costly Consequences of the Free Market
I will begin this review with the obligatory act of full disclosure. I'm a former student of professor Aune's, and have learned a great deal from him, including (as I hope to show) how to constructively review and critique a text. "Selling the Free Market" opens with three epigraphs: two from economists (Friedrich Hayek and Alfred Marshall) and the last from Cicero's "De republica," in which ... 		  
  







  
  
Patriotic Correctness: Academic Freedom and its Enemies (Cultural Politics and the Promise of Democracy)
John K. Wilson

Paradigm Publishers, 2007

After 9/11, liberal professors and students faced an onslaught of attacks on their patriotism and academic freedom. In a lively narrative this book tells the story of attacks on academic freedom in the past five years. It highlights nationally prominent and lesser known cases, drawing upon media reports, university documents, and reports and studies seldom seen by the public. It shows how conservative attacks on higher education distort the ... 		  
  







  
  
The Rape of the Masters: How Political Correctness Sabotages Art19 reviews
Roger Kimball

Encounter Books, 2005

Crimes Committed for the Future
Aside from many trips to the dictionary due to the fact Mr. Kimball has an enormous and delicious vocabulary, I found this book to be informative but mostly full of opportunites to chuckle. It's no surprise that given the trends in academia, the role of art critic has evolved into the practical, obedient soldier that serves a greater "social" purpose aligned with postmodernist philosophies that ... 		  
  







  
  
Professional Correctness: Literary Studies and Political Change2 reviews
Stanley Fish

Harvard University Press, 1999

The Plot Thickens
Perhaps the most interesting distinction Stanley Fish makes in this book is the one between what he calls "plot-thinking" and "being-thinking," if I remember the terms well enough. The first sort is a kind of tactical thinking--what do I need to do to get my points across right now? The second is a bit slower, it is the sort of thinking that says "what do I need to do for myself, given the ...

Great for a good debate
Grede looks at the mistakes history has made in being culturally and politically insensitive and warns us of making too many assumptions of what is a right or wrong in the areas of multiculturalism and Political Correctness. He also debates what motivates our decisions in this area. The goal : To allow without hindrance all cultures and to endure without repugnance all peoples. He suggests a ... 		  
  







  
  
Coloring the News: How Political Correctness Has Corrupted American Journalism43 reviews
William McGowan

Encounter Books, 2003

Clear view from the inside
Though this book condemns mainstream American journalism for its overwhelmingly superficial and one-sided reporting on crucial current social issues -- immigration, "diversity," gay rights and feminism, etc -- it won the 2002 National Press Club Award for press coverage. Black and Hispanic NPC members squawked loudly, of course, but for once good sense prevailed and they were overruled. Thus ... 		  
  







  
  
The Myth of Political Correctness: The Conservative Attack on Higher Education7 reviews
John K. Wilson

Duke University Press, 1995

fact-filled refutation of a pack of lies
Not so many years ago, very few people had ever heard the phrase "politically correct," let alone any horror stories about politically correct leftist college professors and students trashing the canon and burning labryses on the lawns of white, unapologetically heterosexual and capitalist men who bravely persist at reading Shakespeare. Recently, though, political correctness has become so ... 		  
  







  
  
Formal Correctness of Security Protocols (Information Security and Cryptography)
Giampaolo Bella

Computer network security is critical to fraud prevention and accountability. Network participants are required to observe predefined steps called security protocols, whose proof of correctness is evidence that each protocol step preserves some desired properties. The author investigates proofs of correctness of realistic security protocols in a formal, intuitive setting. The protocols examined include Kerberos versions, smartcard protocols, ... 		  
  







  
  
The Rantings of a Single Male: Losing Patience with Feminism, Political Correctness... and Basically ...52 reviews
Thomas Ellis

Rannenberg Publishing, 2005

read my mind
This guy wrote down what I have been thinking for the past 30 years. This is a dangerous book for feminists, who have distorted what it means to be "equal". Sadly, it will take decades for to repair the damage this movement has done, not only to men (oh yes, we can be "victims" also), but also to women. A must read for every male... 		  
  







  
  
A Rush to Injustice: How Power, Prejudice, Racism, and Political Correctness Overshadowed Truth and Justice ...14 reviews
Nader Baydoun, R. Stephanie Good

Thomas Nelson, 2007

Excellect Accompaniment for It's Not About the Truth
I read this book in less than two days, it was so compelling - as, indeed, was It's Not about the Truth, a particularly accurate and damning title and book itself. Mr. Baydour's account draws strength from his stance as a very loyal alumnus and a lawyer. He and Ms. Good have provided us many details in this well-written book that I had not digested heretofore. They have also zeroed in upon the ...
