The "man" thing always gets me. It comes from the Anglo-saxon "mann" which refers to a person - hence mankind etc. = men and women.
Political correctness is a way certain movements in society have of manipulating morality - moving it from a fixed and absolute to a relativist kind based on current trends and the political environment. It thus allows it to be adapted to target groups or ideas to which they are opposed, villify them, and take them down. Anyone who understands dialectical materialism will know what I am talking about.
