It's reported that Micro aggression is the new face of racism. It is unintentional yet powerful form of racism\sexism.
Racial experts have used examples such as a white guy asking an Asian person for help on homework or picking a black guy first to be on his basketball team.
As I thought about it, I fear i have been the victim of micro aggression several times in my life as well, and I have been feeling very troubled. I'm m sure I'm not alone here.
In what ways have people committed micro aggression towards you in the past?
Or..... I could use quark aggression at one point in time and have it offend at two points in time on the same person. Ehhh?
micro- is far too coarse a measure.
We need units of nanoaggression and picoaggression, at least.
Perhaps femtoaggression too, although that would hardly perturb an ant.
“What does liberal spit taste like?”
I can say with certainty “Not like chicken.”
It shouldn’t have been all that hard even if she was determined to defend it. A degree in the stuff that doesn’t even try to mount a defense of it? Weird.
Well, you know, the thing is, when it happened to me, it was a little strange, but I just said “well people have different hair, it’s natural to be curious”. But for the author of that piece on microaggressions, those must have been incidents she harbored resentments about for years to come.
On the upside, if these are the type of things that grievance mongers are complaining about, it shows how far we have come getting rid of the really bad racial incidents in this country. They wouldn’t bother whining about people asking to touch their hair if there were real legitimate civil rights violations for them to be campaigning about.
I mean even like “Well, that was good luck. But this is now and we KNOW the situation is endangered now because etc. etc.”
I think it may be a valid complaint that some people just have grudges simmering under the surface and it shows in thus and such a subtle way.
But when liberals complain about it, I wonder if they are seeing the world of all conservatives through their own commonly angry and resentful prisms? Backed by macro, not micro, aggressions?
When I want sex, I ask my wife. Is that homophobic?
You mean you are not constantly puzzling about whether you’re gay?
PHOBE! PHOBE! PHOBE!
/kidding!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop gay microagression against Christians
More like mega-aggression (megagression? megaagression?)
HOOAH!
Even worse is when they ask me if I want to add a dollar to my grocery tab to go to some charity or another. One grocery store in the area had an idiot manager on the loudspeaker making an announcement every time some intimidated customer contributed. Cheering and raving.
I no longer patronize that store.
I am perfectly capable of contributing to a charity without coercion from my grocery store - or anyone else. Retail businesses need to get out of the charity pimping racket.
Note to self: Don’t get a degree in “Sustainability Studies” or you’ll be sustaining yourself by waiting tables.
Nope. Never even considered holding hands with a guy since kindergarten. Except I was holding my Dads hand when he was dying. I get a pass on that one.
I for one want a nice bagel. Help a gentile out, wouldja?
i guess that makes you mucho macho
(I will need a quarter mil to help soothe my hurt feelings)
