Thanks! It's been a while since I went through that website and again it's reminded me how much I can forget/miss. The bit about the 'she/her' in PCP is a great spot and the idea of a female personification of political correctness, as a 'storyline' to the song makes a lot of sense.

I think I'd previously seen the 'midgets' as being the reduced size cigarettes (king size being removed to 'bring fresh air') but, yes , 'her midgets' seems more in line with the posts above.
