A huge critique is the subject of mathematics. Is truth is relative to all people and all places then so is math. So if I get a math question marked wrong by a teacher then she is oppressing my culture backgrounds and all question's answer are right. This goes for anything. Another way to say it is that two different answers to the same question are true. So 1+1 =2 for me but for you 1+1 = cow.
The basic concept is there are no absoultes. Of course this is an absolute and therfore there must be objective facts regardless of all places or all people. To say that this is the only absolute is still a knockout for the PM theory.
Also, if PM is correct then I can think anything and it would be true. Therefore, if I think there is objective truth I would be correct and PM folds in on itself.
These are just a few of the MANY PM faults. Not to mention the French invented it.

i had a good one back in high school but it was long and involved. basically, "things are what they are regardless of what you believe they are."
