I have doubts about political correctness. Of course I agree with its goals – no humiliation, against power relations – but think about the figure of ‘human being’ that is silently presupposed by political correctness, its obsession with harassment and victimisation, we are always threatened. I look into your eyes for two seconds too long – visual rape. The vision beneath political correctness is very sad, a vision of ‘we are all potential victims’.
