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:

I would show them my jazz ass.

There’s gay, and then there’s gay, and there’s that.

Bob Fosse jazz hands, circa 1953.

Thanks.. just saw the vid. Not that I would ever attend a gaggle of hairy-legged feminists, but if they think I would ever do that faggedy little routine, they can kiss my Irish ass.

..and now I know.

Learn something new every day at FreeRepublic. hehe

At first I thought it might be that crap those Occupoopers were doing.

One of the reasons that the feminist movement is clinically insane is because they are liberals and all liberals are clinically insane.

And they are reason they are deeply clinically insane is because they can’t face the fact they have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO SAY about 700 million Islam women slaves.

Ohhhhhhh.....like Al Jolson when he wore blackface. Isn’t this racist?

Muslim women are being murdered by their family members in “honor” killings around the world. Others are being stoned after being raped. In some countries they can't drive a car. Domestic violence is condoned. Education is limited for girls or not allowed at all. And American feminists are virtually silent. But here, they have really serious issues to war against the evil patriarchy. Feminists worry that clapping triggers some vague anxiety in women and must be replaced with jazz hands??????

LOL!

Think about past generations and the struggles they endured... and some people nowadays have a panic attack over clapping?

Good grief. Some people just need a good swift kick in the pants.

Up twinkles.

Actually we should take this series lee: Clapping or the waving of hands with fingers splayed in silent tribute. I am all in favor of not offending anyone.

Let's let Stevie Wonder decide which he prefers.

Really, feminism seems to be all about a bunch of women getting together to come up with new reasons why they are powerless victims. First it was just men causing all their agony but over decades they’ve added everything else up to and including clapping. At some point we need to stop accommodating their neuroses.

I call that “whoa that cocaine is really hitting right now” hands.

prog/lib/commies talking give me anxiety. Maybe they should mindful and use their mime voice?

That is the most gay thing I have ever seen. And that includes San Francisco during Halloween.
