Mythology ts full of microaggressions.
The modern generation is totally ignorant of Greek mythology.
The last “Clash of the Titans” movie finished with Perseus strolling off with Io (his grandmother), instead of Andromeda, like the mythology teaches.
Hey, note to you millenial fuzzballs: Read a little Greek. Maybe some Dante’s Inferno. It’ll scare your knickers off. And if you didn’t study a little Old Testament there at the girl’s school, try a couple chapters out of Revelations. You ignore our old history and the lessons it teaches at your own peril. Or you could just be happy that the Holy Romans burned down the great library at Alexandria so you wouldn’t have to bother with all that fundamental knowledge. That only set humankind back 1,000 years which brings us back to your pathetic limp wristed azzes.

You’d think they’d be all over the non Edith Hamilton versions of Greek Mythology.
The thing that scares me the most is that I am assuming these kids never really studied the Holocaust during school. Because that would have reduced them to a blubbering pool compared to Greek mythology.
This “triggering” nonsense has gotten out of hand.
I guess Dungeons & Dragons is right out then.
Damn nerds microagressing everyone.
All these asses want is habituate everyone else to saying “how high” when they say ‘froggy’. Oddly it has been working pretty well for forty years now...
After the baby boom generation is gone, China will walk in and take over without firing a shot.
I had to do this in high school in Freshman year. No big deal. We had to do the Odyssey and I did my report on Medusa. It was very interesting. I really hate this generation.
Calculus triggereed the crap outta me, lemme tellya. Some privileged old white guy talking about a number approaching infinity, and I about tore up my damn snuggle-blanky right there. And the the massive microaggressions that poured out of the other students who claimed to understand it, passive-aggressively shaming me by not asking any questions... the whole thing just brought me right up against my limits. It was years before I integrated the experience, and even now I have a hard time differentiating between agressive and non-aggressive numbers.
Ludicrous. Doesn't the university see it is being punked?
The Greek myths are stories the Greeks told about their gods and expressed their ideas on such things as good and evil and human failings. How can this possibly be one of those “trigger points”? During WW-II kids their age were enduring the horrors of a world war fighting the Nazis and the Japanese to save the world from fascism. Today’s generation are epitomized by Obamacare’s metro sexual pajama boy who needed a cup of hot chocolate to fortify himself to sign up for Obamacare and who would piss himself if he even saw photos of what his grandfathers generation did during the war.
History begins when they enter College?
I think there are so many already written papers about classical lit floatig around out there that a) even in an original paper nobody will think of anything new to say, and b) maybe it’s time to look at other books that don’t have so many pre-written papers one can tap and hand in as their own work.
