Saying “God bless you” after someone sneezes is listed as a microaggression on a lengthy “anti-oppression” guide posted online by Simmons College.
“This guide is intended to provide some general information about anti-oppression, diversity, and inclusion as well as information and resources for the social justice issues key to the Simmons College community,” it states, adding “this guide is by no means exhaustive.”
Yet it includes hyperlinks to more than 100 resources, such as articles and videos, and boasts eight different subsections: anti-oppression, anti-racism, anti-transmisia, anti-ableism, anti-Islamomisia, anti-sanism, anti-queermisia and social justice zines.
The guide’s authors explain that they replaced the typical suffix “phobia,” such as Islamophobia, with the term “misia,” because the term “phobia” is offensive to people with phobias.

“6I consider lefties getting offended over harmless things a microaggression.”
Microaggression? Who invented that word? They should be executed.0
**************************************************************
Its an outdated custom: After a sneeze, the last thing I want to do is acknowledge a complete stranger whom maybe more than half of them is not living a Godly life.

Just let me sneeze, recover, and resume my composure!
I guess, “shut the f*** up!”, Is a better statement?
These colleges are going to start folding like cheap tables soon, and they’ll all start asking why.
Who wants to subsidize this with student loan dollars? I’ve told all of my kids, “Avoid college unless and until you absolutely have to have it.”
Did you see this video that was on that Colleges website? 50 points for anyone who can sit through this entire video....

zines i believe refers to online magazines.
admittedly, I am guessing on some of these.
“...where a left hook would fall...”
Chuckle.... what they deserve, versus what they get... sigh... that day’ll come, soon enough....
Agree 100% - especially since sneezes (at least for me) usually come two or three is succession ... and then I wind up chocking as my “Thank You’s get caught up with the next sneeze each time.
So like you said, just let me sneeze and leave me alone ... I don’t want any comforting words that I’d be obligated to thank while I’m still convulsing.
But once again - in the America that I grew up in, and with the Americans that I knew.... They’d SAY IT ANYWAY.
In this particular case, its category 5 stupidity.
You got that right!
Just say GBY to the perpetually offended snowflakes.
There are certain types that run to it quickly.
It’s alarming how many of them are off the rails.
But, it’s a sign of the times.
Express train to hell. All aboard leftist flakes.
My sentiments exactly. I don't usually acknowledge the "blessing". I didn't ask for it, and I'm too busy sneezing to be bothered to thank them for their unsolicited blessing. Maybe I've been micro-agressed all these years and didn't know it?
I find the word music’s offensive, ban it.
“You will say what we, your self-declared masters, tell you to!”
“You will not say what we, your self-declared masters, tell you not to!”
misia-ery is all these people know or can create.
sux to be them.
One could go all Archie Bunker on the sneerzer and say:
“Stifle yourself”
