They are bubble wrapped, physically and mentally.

Writing an opinion piece to Michigan State University’s paper the State News, Rashad Timmons says that microaggressions are causing him several medical afflictions. His letter was titled, “Intentional or not, microaggressions severely impact underrepresented members of society.”
According to Timmons, people who “are not privileged” are suffering greatly from the intentional and unintentional triggers that others are causing. “On a campus,” he writes, ” — and nation at large — in which whiteness, patriarchy, heteronormativity, cissexism, ableism and classism prevail, students that are not privileged by these constructs often have difficulty navigating hegemonic, oppressive environments.”
Timmons writes about different maladies that have come about because of these microaggressions.
He writes that some people have “pressure in the chest” after a microaggression. “It leads you,” he explains with specificity, “to the public restroom on the second floor — too much traffic on the first — of some indiscriminate building that you stumbled into only out of proximity and the immediate need for safety and silence."
...White people, straight people, males, people who are not disabled, those who identify as their birth sex, and those who are not poor must check their “privilege,” Timmons explains.
“To do this,” he concludes, “we must understand and be accountable for our privilege. We must be willing to address the uncomfortable in a wholly racialized, politicized and sexualized society to create safer spaces for all to exist and thrive in.”

Good
Spot the new liberal word of the month!
(hint: its Microaggresion. Watch for it everywhere!)
In a saner time this guy would be told to see a shrink, if not laughed away for being preposterous.
I first saw it a number of years ago.
When does the round up start? Camp Cracker.
yes but I’ve suddenly seen it as a pejorative against conservatives 3 times so far just this week!
Who wants weirdos to “thrive” and be comfortable? We want these maladjusted whiners to be gone.
Diaper call!

alright, alright... this is satire, right?
This guy needs tossed out in the middle of a swamp and have to work his way out by himself.
I’m sorry, but the left-vs-right (not to mention black-vs-white) macro-aggressions have overcome my ability to give a crap what jagoffs like this “feel”.
What a whiny bitch.
“Microaggresion.”
Leftist/pervert newspeak right up there with “cissexual.”
They definitely should NOT reproduce.
I wish we had that kind of power. But since he is so weak, I hope he dies from micro aggression poisoning before he reproduces. We don’t need his pathetic genes in the gene pool.
In a normal world, the world we were born into, those who did not want to fit into society were left out. Of course, we had a real society then, not a freak show.
