One would think that attitude would get pretty boring and they’d find some other way to get through life. Obviously it has a certain amount of psychological payoff: you’re not a “victim,” you’re so damaged that you require coddling from the entire world at all times.
I suppose most of them get tired of the game eventually, or we’d notice people having freakouts about rape or racism or patriarchy all the time in real life ... and I’ve never seen one, not even in Walmart.
You probably know that women now outnumber men in colleges and universities. It seems to me that most of the stories I've read about college students feeling "unsafe" concerns upset female students.
Remember the upset female faculty member of Harvard when fellow lib Lawrence Summers gave a commencement speech a few years ago at Harvard? When he uttered the factual words that males and females might have different brain structures, the female prof was so upset she had to leave.
In my experience females are far more likely than males to be upset by certain kinds of speech. Certainly, there are probably many male students who join the chorus and whine about "unsafe" places. But I can't help notice the correlation between increasing numbers of females on college campi and the growing evil spread of suppression of free speech.
But if you suggest they not get together in large co-ed groups and get drunk - that they might later wish they hadn’t - you’re trampling on their inalienable right to act like absolute idiots.
True, but we wouldn’t know about it if we didn’t read FR. We wouldn’t know these loons exist.
The safe space, Ms. Byron explained, was intended to give people who might find comments “troubling” or “triggering,” a place to recuperate. The room was equipped with cookies, coloring books, bubbles, Play-Doh, calming music, pillows, blankets and a video of frolicking puppies
