Would life be easier if we were given a relatively short list of acceptable things one can say to another?
And all other statements will have you removed from society...?
Gender studies...since no one really agrees on where the line is drawn. This way we can all stay a safe length away from the line no matter where someone would draw it.

"Would life be easier if we were given a relatively short list of acceptable things one can say to another"
Despite idiots claiming otherwise, this is what is going on in society with political correctness, and it extends well into science since anyone seeking to contradict a politically correct doctrine is inherently insulting the group that made the claim.
I really don't like nonsense like that. There is a vast difference between someone insulting you, and someone antagonizing you... and anyone who dares to quote suicides at me for THEIR group and not give a damn about any other group is nothing more than a neo-nazi.
*And I consider anyone who says "But we have it worse" to be not giving a damn about another. I don't care if you have it worse, I care about addressing the REAL problem instead of making everyone equally killing themselves over bullying.

Probably would be for young men so they don't get any false accusations against them. I don't see the point in one for women since having said list would be followed by accusations of being a misogynist.

No, but people who like to insult others or mindlessly due to free speech weren't taught basic respect by their parents.

Though politeness does ease social interactions, limiting what we can say sounds incredibly boring. Also would you actually believe anyone?

Yes, it used to be called Etiquette, and it prevented miscommunication, and boundary-crossing behaviors.
