"Political Correctness and Sexual Harassment"
by Heinz-Joachim Klatt

Abstract:  

Examines political correctness (PC) and sexual harassment (SH). Because PC is such a multi-faceted phenomenon, certain limitations are imposed on the discussion. Here, only those aspects of PC will be examined that have immediate and important consequences for the debate about SH and the implementation of SH policies. These aspects are the following: (1) the intolerance of nonconformity, (2) the claim that PC is a sensitive and therapeutic doctrine, (3) and the moralism and paternalism of PC. What will be left out of the discussion are questions of group-think and group identity, questions of diversity, deconstructionism, new historicism, equity, and preferential hiring.
