Can you try to give your take on my question in another thread about why women tend to prefer political correctness over truth, and get offended more easily than men do?

Also, what about this question about why women tend to conform to and accommodate to the environment more so than men do?

Thanks,

At the expense of enraging my sisters, I am going to say that more women prefer political correctness than guys is probably true. Now I am all for politeness, and respect for different groups especially minorities and groups at a disadvantage in society. I think we should all do that no matter where we live in the world. Treat others as you will like to be treated. But with that understood, I think America is the only country in the world where PC is taken to such an extreme and it seem that women engage in it more than men. When it becomes a reason to argue with others, denigrate them and embarrass them, then it is a very malevolent tool.
In that case it is a weakness. It becomes an evil in itself. Weak people who cannot form a conscience on their own from a pseudo conscience that is driven by the majority. The payoff is that it gets applause and you'll never be alone because you'll always have a movement of people around you, validating you and thinking you are with "it". You'll never be the criticized one or the unpopular one. You roll with the current and you get the acceptance of the crowd. To not have this, you will realize you are alone and weak, and that no-one cares. So insecure women tend to say the prevailing opinions of the time whether it is right or not. In return, they get friends, approval. and validation. Most people are probably not strong enough to arrive at the truth themselves.
Women are more likely to do it than men, because they are more socially driven. Approval can mean so much to them. Even more than truth. TO fallout of favor from the majority is the equivalent of death to them. Most women generally don't make great leaders because of that. They want to be in proper form and to please. They are by nature pleasers. Being pretty, being loved and accepted is important to them. Mindless repetitions seem intelligent to some of them, because it gets the agreement of the others. The majority must be right, is their reasoning. We are emotional thinkers, and sometimes some women will take on the opinion of the strongest woman with out questioning it, and live with it like gospel truth. The majority, of women, I believe are not deep thinkers, but socially motivated and enjoy talking with other women as more pleasurable. Women who practice PC probably do because it is pleasurable to have the approbation of her sisters. They feel strong and powerful and can find an identity in repeating PC thoughtlessly.
To the other question, women tend to conform to the environment more that men. That is true. It is in our nature. It has always been that way and it will always be that way. We tend to be fickle in that way. Being loved is more important to us. To some women , truth is not that important. And that is very unfortunate. Because without truth, you walk around in darkness, doing a lot of damage wherever you go. Women is becoming the more evil sex because of this weakness. Wanting to go with the prevailing opinion can cause a woman to murder her own child, as in abortion, or do other horrible things. Women because of the ability to conform even to an evil dictator or a bad guy is a dangerous creature when she has been misled. She is an angel when she is doing the right thing and an evil creature when she latches on to a bad doctrine. Men can be violent, brutal and commit many outrageous acts, but a woman will do an act, and twist your mind so much that you don't even know that she is a murderer or an evil person, and have everyone thinking she is wonderful. In that way she can be the most devious, deceitful and twisted sex. Some women can be irrational and inclined to tune out logic and that is dangerous. Emotions can drive women. She can change from one thing to the next at the drop of a hat.
A woman without truth can be a dangerous creature. Guided by the truth she is sublime.
