The new modern definition of Common Sense was written by an honorable standing member of the judiciary.
The judiciary considers the use of postmodern Common Sense in the courtroom to be very contemptuous and highly offensive.

Some poor schmuck was given the sad job of defending poor private fools against acts of larceny perpetrated by the entirety of the general public. He seldom has the integrity to look his client in the eyes because he knows the public always treads on the private.
The importance we place on justice can always be measured by the amount of resources given to the postmodern Public Defender in proportion to the amount of resources given to the Attorney General.

Civil rights were formerly things like the right to life, liberty, and property
More recently things like the right not to be offended and the right to marry insects.

Annabelle is fighting for her "postmodern civil rights" she wishes to consummate her marriage to a dung beetle.

A literary and artistic movement in the United States that incorporates elements of second -generation English Romantic literature and philosophy with postmodernist artistic sensibilities. Informed by the social sciences, works in this genre are typically situated against a landscape of urban and psychological decay. Particularly prominent in the midwestern United States.
"It could be argued that many intellectuals who write new formalist verse for poetry slams, or make philosophy memes are incorporating elements of postmodern urban romanticism."

When some ignorant people wanted to criticize an idea but with no understanding of the issue and no strong counterargument, they end up using some ambiguous terms to label the idea they dislike.
Apparently she does not like this proposal, but except for talking some postmodern cultural Marxism, she really does not know how to persuade other people to agree with her.

Postmodernism is a philosophy that holds that there are no such things as truth, facts, or objective reality, and such concepts are oppressive tools of the white male power structure. A common postmodernist refrain is "Perception is reality". Rather than there being an objective reality that everyone is perceiving through lenses that can and do contain distortions, postmodernism teaches that reality is different for every person, and there is no such thing as a false narrative. An old expression says that "There are three sides to every story: yours, mine, and the cold, hard truth". Postmodernism gets rid of that third side. Everybody's worldview, right down to the mentally disturbed person screaming on the subway about the end times, is equally valid. Young-earth creationists, flat-earthers, anti-vaxxers, and Q-Anon cultists are taken seriously, and have followings, because of postmodernism. Before postmodernism, these people would have been roundly dismissed as idiots, and rational minds would set the record straight.
We went from there being three news channels that admittedly told a slanted narrative, to one where there are millions of "news sources" to choose from to fit your own personal narrative. And we went from one stifling, oppressive (usually religiously-driven) set of moral standards, to NO moral standards whatsoever, and complete moral relativism. Because no answers is better than one answer, and you must NEVER tell a person that they're wrong.

When I was a kid I was foolishly taught that the sky was blue, but now, thanks to postmodernism, I know that the sky is whatever color a person believes it to be.
