Don't be an ass. Today you learned, at most, that at least one person thinks that finding a woman ugly is hardcore sexism.
More generally, calling things "PC" is a lazy shortcut, a straw man attack.
I mean, unless someone actually sincerely says to you "oh, reinhardt, you mustn't say XYZ, I want you to be politically correct". In that case, mock away.
I absolutely disagree with JulianMorrison (that "us[ing] the concept 'ugly women' is failing so hard at sexism ..."). My disagreement has nothing to do with suspecting him of being "PC", nor do I dismiss other related claims from other people because of the existence of this statement.
