Feminist Group Warns: Clapping is "Triggering," Use "Jazz Hands" Instead

The NUS Women's Campaign, which states that it "exists to represent and extend and defend the rights of women students," is asking people to be "mindful" about clapping, as the loud noise could be "triggering" for some people.

Instead, the group is asking members to use "jazz hands," as they are silent.

This is not a joke. This is the actual tweet that went out:

WTH is “jazz hands?”

[GeronL]

Since jazz is a male dominated field, this is sexist

[Zeppo]

The world needs a trigger warning before posting or viewing statements made by foolish feminists.

We need to make the Internet a safe zone - safe from such idiocy, that is...

(golf clap)

Something no hetero male would use outside of a dance studio.

How about a Nazi Salute?

Hey Scott. Seems like it would be disrespectful of the blind since it would have no sound. Here is a link of a dancer demonstrating "jazz hands"

Ya just gotta love Algore's invention:

-Jazz Hands-

[dfwgator]

Joe Cocker Hands.

I’m working on the theory that it’s some sort of communicable psychosis raging through the liberal arts departments.

[RedMDer]

ROTFLOL!

[WKUHilltopper]

I agree with that gesture!

I’m tired of these totalitarians trying to lecture everyone else how to live their lives in their twisted and sick vision.
