Most of the time when someone is described as politically correct they are simply correct.

That's not even remotely true. Men and women are socialized so differently that difficulties in cross-gender communication, especially on emotional issues, are very common.

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

Fine: There's no inherent difference between men and women such that intercommunication is impossible or is even particularly difficult in a way that can only be blamed on the gender of those involved.

Oh, it is actually hitting the point.

It isn't in the gender socialization that differentiates the person, but the society the person lives in and their culture which attempts to affirm these 'differences'. Being socialized 'so differently' is a subjective notion which doesn't and isn't a correct way to generalize how people understand each other.

Especially on emotional issues. Especially on emotional issues.
Believe me. I've done and participated in many, many cross-regional and academic researches on that point (and 80% of said work is reviewing others) and I've seen little difference if any. Wherein that difference lies in how people perceive gender-specific events.
Cheeetar has the full grasp on the situation.

Saying that it isn't even "remotely" true is pretty much a...miswording, huh? ;)
