Yes I don't like that term because politics isn't a right or wrong answer it is an opinion.

You seem to mis-understand the term. The term "Political Correctness" is used to describe language, policies, or measures that are intended to avoid offense or disadvantage to members of particular groups in society. Since the late 1980s, the term has come to refer to avoiding language or behavior that can be seen as excluding, marginalizing, or insulting groups of people considered disadvantaged or discriminated against, especially groups defined by sex or race. In public discourse and the media, it is generally used as a pejorative, implying that these policies are excessive.

Politically Incorrect: "All men are created equal."

Politically Correct: "All humans have equal rights and responsibilities, regardless of age, citizenship status, coloration, criminal record, disability, economic status, ethnicity, family status, gender identity, genetic characteristics, intelligence, marital status, mental state, nationality, race, religion (or lack thereof), political affiliation, residency, sex, and sexual orientation."

See the difference?

Garments that used specifically to torture and humiliate women. One example is the Scold's bridle. It was a mask that a woman was forced to wear if she talked back to her husband, gossiped, was thought to be rude or troublesome, or was accused of witchcraft. It had a metal object that went inside her mouth and would press down on her tongue so that talking would be painful as well as difficult. If that wasn't bad enough (and it was), she would then be placed in public to be humiliated or even beaten.

Of course, all torture devices are horrible, but many of them were made to specifically punish women. And in some cultures are still being used today. :(
