Here's a personal story that deals with the idiocy of PC. I wrote a paper for a class I had in college. I used the word "mankind" in a very benign sentence. The female TA circled the word. I then asked her why she circled the word. She told me that I should have used the word "humankind" because the word mankind might upset someone when reading it-yeah like her. Since I didn't want to make a scene, and believe me I really wanted to rip her a new a**hole, I politely told her that I understood. But, I was ready to tell her that human still had "man" in it.
