Yes, in that statement it means politically correct. It's odd, when I was growing up I had less freedom because I was a girl and could come home pregnant. I don't give my daughter more freedom than my sons, but my worst fear is that one of my sons will have a child with an undesirable female; and have little or no say in the future of this child. While I do not wish my daughter to have a child with an undesirable male either, I know as a family we can pull together and give that child a happy and stable life.
