This past week’s Twitter spat featuring several Washington Post employees was a gold mine into the mindset of the ultra-therapeutic “me” culture which is often cultivated in our universities.
In a nutshell, after Post reporter Felicia Somnez publicly ripped her employer for allowing fellow reporter Dave Weigel to allegedly get away with retweeting a “sexist” tweet, the paper ended up suspending Weigel for a month without pay.

ut the coup de grâce, so to speak, came when a Post software engineer named Holden Foreman (pictured) chimed in via a lengthy Twitter thread to defend Somnez (and in other tweets, Lorenz) even though a reasonably rational person could see they were clearly in the wrong.
Foreman looks like he could be a high school freshman; indeed, just last year he was a student at Stanford University. And last August, he took to the student paper Stanford Daily (which has a predilection for publishing piddly student complaints) to rip the university for not catering to (no pun intended) his “disordered eating.”
Complete with a trigger warning (“This column contains references to disordered eating”), Foreman’s piece noted that his alleged malady — “a compulsion to eat less than needed when [in] either in social settings or when [one has] trouble estimating the amount of food [they’re] consuming” — still remains undiagnosed.

The only consolation is that when the zombie apocalypse happens, entities like this will not last long.
They won’t even begin to have a clue how to survive for real.
