I didn't intend to creast a tempest in this teapot by using "herstory"; rather, I'm just an insufferable pun nut. I do think, however, that most histories are written, until recently, from a biased perspective, as if to say, "Oh, yeah, there was a woman involved." Other than that, I dislike PC just as much as you others.
