Just when you thought all the possible microaggression scenarios humanly possible had been called out, more pop up.
The latest offensives to avoid come courtesy of The New School, a private university in New York City. It has published an extensive list of “microinsults,” “microassaults” and “microinvalidations” to avoid, including ones specific to academia, like this one:
“Seats in the classroom / auditorium / office are too small for many people.”
Additional “academic setting” micros on The New School’s list include “food sold in the cafeteria does not include options for those with limited food budgets,” “being called ‘overly sensitive’ when addressing a microaggression,” bathrooms and locker rooms labeled “Male or Female,” and “faculty and classmates do not ask for gender pronouns.”

So does that mean that airliner seats are aggressive?
A lot of the seats they are complaining a were made well before the era of rampant fatassery. The seats didnt shrink, YOU take up too much space.

Filling classrooms is like filling airplanes. They have to buy furniture that can withstand larger students. The big problem is with large lecture halls. It costs millions of dollars to renovate. They have to rip up the entire complex and lay new concrete that allows enough room for taller and bigger students.
Just come right out and say it: “Yo ass too big”.
Generally speaking people have gotten fatter. Let’s face it. One would think uncomfortable seats might be one indicator that they should exercise and lose a few pounds. But hey — it’s up to them. To each his own.
Try the seats at a Cirque Du Soleil show.
I spent yesterday morning with my wife in the ER (she’s ok). There were two chairs for a family member. One was a doublewide. It was the most heavily used
how much of that "food budget" was spent on tuition? And, if they hand out 'get it free' cards to the budget-challenged, is that in itself microagression? If so, then all welfare is microagression
I feel micro-aggressed (is that a word) when I get stuck with the middle seat on any aircraft.

Shouldn’t these fatsos stop eating so much? I mean...show some self-control.
It doesn’t show anything on my computer. Were the prices reasonable or expensive?
You have to admit, that is a *funny* comeback!
Not unreasonable for NYC in 2017.
If not for the skin color that is my soon to be 16 yr old grandson, 150+ lbs over weight. And I bet if you ran his Blood Sugar it would read in the 400’s, higher than his dad’s who is a Type 2 Diabetic. He sneak eats, hides the evidence under the furniture. His dad does not purchase the stuff, kid works and buys his own. Lives on Pizza and chips. Then he sits and plays vid games.
