The Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan writes today about microaggressions and triggers, ideas and comments that cause others to feel "unsafe," whatever unsafe means in the context of a college lecture or seminar. Happily, today's column is not behind the WSJ firewall.
Noonan isn't impressed with the so-called "snowflake" generation that whines about such "gruesome" experiences. Delicate egos will be bruised, life is like that.
Can any COTTonLINE readers honestly say no one has ever said anything hurtful to them, intentionally or otherwise? Unlikely, unless one is entirely oblivious to surroundings. Yet you survived, even thrived.
